We are picking every two days, so check there. We toss bad fruit by hand into the area that will be garlic this fall next to the berry beds, but maybe we need to be collecting it and putting into the dumpster.
Honeysuckle is everywhere here. That will be tough.
We are still picking 20 pounds every two days now. The two stands I'm supplying are taking two flats (8 one-lb boxes per flat) every other day and selling out between deliveries. It has worked out that I pick and deliver to them on alternating picking days, so I am keeping them both stocked.
I didn't even expect fruit in July because everything I read said they wont produce above 86 degrees, which we've been experiencing for a month or so. Still getting new flowers and fruit.
Really curious to see what mid-August to October will bring with cooler days and nights.
