patterdale 673 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Already you can see we are going to have a bumper crop of blackberries and tree nuts this year especially the nuts.Isn't it an old wives tale of a sign of a bad winter ahead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Bumper crops, are a sign of good pollination in the spring, not a hard winter to come. I seen my first black blackberry two weeks ago. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mole trapper 1,693 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Funny enough I got back this morning from south of France, blackberry down there already ripening and elderberry well on the way, northern France still only blossom. Down here in Cornwall they're coming along nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
