Berry Season, and Spring Awareness in The Tennessee Hills

[Mistwalker]

Late spring is berry season here, my favorite part of the warm season. I've been watching them all develop for weeks and they are finally ripening.

I found a good many ripe blackberries, and they're nice and sweet this year too thankfully.

The Mulberries are slowly but surely getting there.

We have a lot of briers here,

The blueberries are my favorite, I'll be glad when some of them are ripe, barely pinkish purple as of yet.

I have some competition who loves fresh blueberries also. I haven't seen him or her yet, just a few obscure tracks here and there, along with some other obscure tracks around the watering hole.

The Elderberries are in progress, but have a ways to go.

And the dewberries should be opening soon.

Lots of rose hips on all the wild rose vines

The wild grapes are just starting, more on those later.

Thank you sir! That makes me feel good. I have a few new posts in the works, and wanted to publish them under Mistwalker like the old days.

Very cool!

I planted a couple of blueberries on the back of my property, will likely just be deer food though.

I am in Winchester and ride my motorcycle over your way frequently.

I love living down here!!

Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks man! Glad you liked them! I have deer and bear both for the ones in the wild, want to relocate some since there are so many small ones there. I've also been cleaning out around them some for better images. I used to work in Winchester some years ago when I ran the punch list for a Jim Walter's outfit here. I bet Monteagle is fun on a bike!

We do have lots of blackberries here. And some blueberries as well. But it is to early for the blackberries yet. Most of them are ready to be gathered by august or so. Mullberries... I don't recall seeing them. I am not a plant expert though.

Great pictures! Very very illustrating!
