Proof That Summer Over

[Scott_F]

I picked these today next to a nearby footpath.

Not a bad haul for June but I'm sure that when I was a child you had to wait until September for them.

Flippin heck, I'll have to check my source early this year if that,s the case. Homemade jam easy and fab on toast

^^ I wouldn't worry - apart from these the ones everywhere else are only just starting to flower and won't be ripe for a good few weeks yet.

Memories - at our old house friends used to visit to pick kilos of those! Admittedly we has a 1/2 acre paddock at the bottom of the garden with a long bramble hedge that was a PITA to keep under control, life at the new house is loads easier!

Spiders have started migrating indoors - which they don't usually do until late August/early September. We're all doomed!

Calm down you silly man.......

It turns out that they are in fact loganberries (a blackberry / raspberry hybrid) that are usually ripe a couple of months before blackberries.

So it appears that summer isn't over after all.

Didn't you enjoy summer in May?, even had sun in Scotland for a few days

I'm pleased to say that I made use of both days of summer this year.

Don't come on here with your problems Darrell. Just grin and bare it.

OK these are definitely blackberries and it's only July:
