Picked the #blackberries from my driveway, the #figs from behind the house, and the #apples from the nearby public fountain.

BlackBerry harvest results in a drought year:
This is so disappointing. We usually get around 50 to 60 lb of blackberries every year. That carries us through the full year as we freeze them. This year we've got just under 24 lb. There are lots more on the bushes but they are hard and dry and not worth harvesting as they don't even taste very good. Not enough water. These were not really wild, as I did clear out the dead canes during the Spring to make picking them a little easier, but otherwise they have been sown wild and normally just grow on their own. I have never watered them. So I guess we're going to have to buy some during the year for our breakfasts.
I'm sure this will be reflective of the fruit crops all around us. This bodes ill for the price of fruit during the coming year. Sigh.
