Big Smiles on Opening Day

Pretty in PinkBig beautiful smiles were everywhere Sunday at RabbitEye Farm for Opening Day.  It was cool in the morning, rained a little in the afternoon, got really humid for a while and then cooled back off later in the day.  Lots of BerriesMany folks were avid pickers and got some nice amounts.  By the end of the day, the rows were pretty well gleaned of the ripe berries.  As you can see from this first picture, there are a lot more berries ripening for Thursday’s pick.  The ripening process will continue all month, so there will be plenty for everyone.  It is best to come early in the day though.

We are happy to see that the blueberries have improved this year.  If you recall, the blackberries outperformed the blueberries by a large margin last year.  But the blueberries are catching up and are producing quite a few berries.  Hopefully the crows won’t pick them before you have a chance.  We’ve had to make two scarecrows and also have had to keep moving them around.  The crows here are smart and rather bold.  The dogs aren’t a help at all with keeping the birds out, so the idea of making another scarecrow that looks like a dog was quickly overruled.

Here are some happy berry pickers at our first pick of 2016.

Sunday June 5th.

Blackberry Season’s Big Finish

coupleBySignWe have two full rows of Navaho Blackberries which are still producing and giving us our big finish, but this is the last week we will be open.  If you want blackberries, you should come early in the morning on Tuesday July 7th or on Friday July 10th.  Hours are being reduced to mornings only this week.  Time is limited and you’ve also got wildlife to compete with (see below).

There are so many interesting blackberry enthusiasts that have visited us this season.  This past week has been no different.  This happy couple came from Columbus and if you want to see what 2 and a half quarts of berries looks like, that is what they are holding.  We supply a bucket with a liner and you simply lift out the liner and carry your berries home in it, with a twist tie, of course.  We also have a 1 quart size bucket with liner and a 1 pint size.  Remember, July 7th and July 10th are the end of our open berry season, so get them while you can.  See sidebar for more details.

Multiple factors cheap levitra uk contribute in forming this health disorder by evaluating the actual cause of problem. If you are young and you notice that you have faster heart beats, tadalafil tablets india you are sweating or you have a blur vision. Doctors usually conduct a morning blood test to levitra price determine the cause of impotence along with a blood test and various physical and psychological factors you must know. There are a number of sex pills for men made chemically, but it is the generic version of tadalafil india online and works in similar way that is cialis works and there is no difference in the effectiveness and healing of the illness. Deer in BlackberriesWe have had an increase in wildlife that are enjoying our berries.  At first there were a few birds, and then a few squirrels that would scamper away when they saw us.  That is to be expected.  But, now the numbers have increased and additionally we have seen deer on numerous occasions.  They don’t just eat berries, they meander along the row, look for the big juicy ones just like we would, and they pick them so gently.  They must be enjoying them as their ears wiggle each time they pick one.

What happens now?

As each row finishes bearing, the “floricanes”, which are the stems that are producing fruit this year, begin to wither and droop.  These stems do not produce again next year and they need to be pruned out.  It’s easiest to do this right after the fruiting season because you can easily tell them apart from the new growth.  This process lets the plants energy go into the “primocanes”, which are the stems that will produce next years berries.  Since we have different varieties of berries, they have slightly different timelines in which they bloom, bear fruit, and wither so that lets the work of pruning be spaced out too.  Even though the blackberries have a big finish, more work is just beginning.  Here is a small video of Doug explaining the thornless blackberry pruning process.

Pick & PLAY Fun!

Pick&PLAYBlackberry SmileWow!  Friday’s Pick & PLAY was so much fun! The music was great, the blackberries were plentiful and beautiful smiles were everywhere.  Pictures are worth a thousand words, so here are several photos and a video too!  Great smiles are contagious especially when you have a bucketful of blackberries just waiting to be eaten.  The berries are easy for anyone to pick, tall or small… this handsome blackberry picker had no trouble finding some samples.  The weather was warm, but no one seemed to mind.  CaseWe are so grateful that it didn’t rain.  Zach and Renee Patten were our featured musicians.  They really set the mood with the music that they chose and the quality with which they play.  The music just floated over the entire berry patch.  The terraces have a natural amphitheater effect.  We had a surprise guest artist, who played the flute named Emily Jarrell.  She was terrific!  Not only did she play solo, but she also joined in with Zach and Renee on a few songs.  She enjoyed her free cup of berries.  Renee played a special instrument on Friday, it was her Grandmother’s violin.  She thoughtfully keeps a photo of her Grandmother with the violin in the case as a remembrance.
