Blackberry Winter
Before I forget, Tuesday morning there was frost on the windshield and blackberries are in bloom. This should be the last cold spell. Amazing how it always seems to work.

Blackberry Winter/Local Strawberries Ready
According to the local farmers, we just had blackberry winter. Blackberries are in full bloom and the temps were 38 degrees the night before last.
How is it that it always happens that way? I think I'll keep track of it for a few years.
If you're looking for local produce, the strawberries at Marcum Farms just up College Hill Road from Waco are ready to pick. $9 a gallon for u-pick, $11 a gallon if they pick. I haven't stopped yet, but last year they were terrific. Melissa made jam and we enjoyed it up until January, so we need to make more this year.
