“BlackBerry Flowers Are Fully Bloomed”
I noticed that there are more blackberry flowers on my property this year. First of all, after moving into this property, I noticed some fruit plants and trees such as grapes, blackberries, apples, blueberries, and cherries. However, those fruits were not a lot for a while. This year, we have more Blackberry flowers so, I can have more fruits. I can't wait to eat berries in late summer to early autumn.
This is a hilly spot in our backyard. We didn't have a Blackberries two years ago.
This is a bench on the hilly spot. You can wait here and eat berries. I like to sit here sometimes in the morning in spring and around sunset in summer and autumn.
There are some berry spots next to the grape vines as well.
Here is a secret spot next to our driveway. You see the beautiful sunset beyond berries. We have a lot of berry spots here this year.
Here is also next to our driveway. My husband made a special berry-picking path for me.
We didn't have berries here last year much but we have quite an lot this year.
This is my favourite secret spot because it is under the shade of trees. So, it's not hot when I pick berries.
Here is under the cherry tree. I see many berries compared to last year.

「ブラックベリーの花が満開です」
今年は敷地内にブラックベリーの花がたくさん咲いています。この土地に移り住んできたとき、さくらんぼ、りんご、ブルーベリー、ブラックベリー、ぶどうなどの果物の木があることに気がつきました。でも、当初はフルーツの実はあまりできませんでした。だんだん時間をかけてフルーツができるようになってきました。今年はブラックベリーの花がたくさん咲いているので、実もたくさんできることでしょう。夏の終わりから秋の初旬にかけて食べるのが楽しみです。
ここはちょっと小高い場所です。2年前はここにブラックベリーがありませんでした。
ここは小高い場所にあるベンチの近くです。座ってベリーを食べられます。ここに春は朝方、夏と秋は夕方に座るのが好きです。

ここも私道の横です。主人がベリー狩り用の小道を作ってくれました。

Such a lovely forest! I am amazed by all the greenery and flowers. Blackberries are my favorite berries - I actually have a blackberry vine tattoo! Have you ever heard of flower essences? Last year I made a flower essence with blackberry flowers. Happy berry collecting!
Wow! The blackberry vine tattoo sounds very cool! I love eating them too! Nice to hear about making flower essence. I often eat edible flowers but I never made the essence.
Such a great forest indeed. The flowers of these blackberries are amazing, I am so excited to see them as fruit 🤗 I am wondering now how it taste.
Blackberries are very sweet in later summer or early autumn! In early summer, the taste is a bit sour though. They are good for jam or juice. I simply eat them when I go outside.
