I would like to add:

Come on you weather experts - summon up a good frost to kill them all off
please!

But won't a frost finish off the blackberries too?

My Uncle woldn't eat blackberries after the end of September, said Owd
Nick had trodden on them.

My grandmother used to say they had been kissed by the devil....

Later ones do not usually have so much flavour - could be less
sunlight or lower nightime temps. I'm not sure.

ours on the allotments have been finished for some weeks now, but
there are still some tasty raspberries around.
Our blackberries were very early this year, fortunately there are
about a dozen large yogurt tubs of them in my freezer.


(waiting for a bit more frost to get at the sloes before making sloe
gin)
