I believe this is week 29 for the plants, and they continue to spawn new canes and new fruit. The last couple of pickings are giving about 2#/day but it varies a bit from week to week.
Some of the canes are getting a bit unruly, in part from my own neglect in keeping them tied. Some of the leaves are looking a bit tired as well so I think I'll give them a little calcium nitrate this coming week.
This is the reason for my recent neglectful behavior; my first batch of Blackberry wine! 26#'s of blackberries should give me around 2-1/2 to 3 gallons of wine! Between this and 300#'s of muscadines picked and frozen, and so far about 15 gallons of muscadine wine fermenting away, I have managed to stay quite busy while literally enjoying the fruit of my labor!
Ciao,
