That’s because “the witch has got in them”. Ancient saying from when I was a kid.

I just went off them after Mrs WW followed something she’d read about putting them in salty water

As a child this was a favourite passtime. Purple hands, stomach ache, but great fun.

It's got to be done! I don't even like them but still feel compelled to pick them. Made some nice bramble jelly the other day though.

Ours are only just becoming ripe in sheltered sunny spots - the ones in the woods are still very green (but that is tropical Aberdeen for you )

 

[ejmoore]

Plenty of ripe ones, plenty of red ones, and even still some flowers, in Sussex a couple of days ago.
