Nothing says summer like

BLACKBERRIES


These are thorn-free blackberries, which are supposedly less tasty, but not mine. Maybe the trick is that they grow against a wall that gets a lot of sun and heat on the other/neighbor's side (so they don't suffer the sun's onslaught), and they also get a whole lot of cat pee for vitamin (and if that makes you go Ewww: must I remind you of the egg and its origin?). They're über-delicious, and gigantic (for size comparison: that's a 20 eurocent piece and my current rpg alter ego of 25mm).
This is the first week of the harvest, so with over three kilos in a week it's promising to be a very good year again. Which is good because my yellow plum tree's on sabbatical (exacerbated by the drought and heat wave into three yellow leaves and two shriveled plums).
It's obviously too much to eat (yes, the weeks after this harvest will still see a harvest of about a kilo a week), so plenty goes into the freezer.
