Ive been picking ripe blackberries since early June this year, here in Provence, France. I've never seen that before in my entire life. Thats an autumn/late summer berry. Thats like 6 - 8 weeks out of season.

Thanks conservatives for bringing us to the brink of both WWIII and climate extinction simultaneously.

This is of course not correct, with the exception of blackberries being a late summer berry. You were probably in one of your mental modes and confused a strawberry with a blackberry. Possibly dreamed it.

I guess it's possible you mistook a black raspberry for a blackberry, which while totally wrong would at least be forgivable for a newb.

Growing berries is difficult here.

But I am already enjoyjng cucumbers, with tomatoes, squash, peppers, corn, and potatoes to follow. The latter is a pleasant experiment from a late bag of bloomers chucked in a pile of compost with some sprinkled water

I've seen them trying to fruit in my garden.

Exceptionally warm weather triggers it.

Cf. 2025 when blackberries were seen on 22nd June.

This year was hotter, earlier.

Its ruining the multi-billion dollar grape/wine industry. I picked ripe grapes yesterday a month too early.

grapes that grow a month too quickly, while useless for quality wines, will be fine for Lying Pedophiles $4 bottles of luxury wines he likes to impress girls with, though, in the burnt out empty shell of a dead world his extinction-level stupidity leads to.

But until then, let the Browning of Me continue on the French Riviera. Packing for another day at the beach, gorgeous blue skies, flopping down into cool crystal clear seawater, a coffee and a croissant and then another dip

At the nudey beach today because the scenery here is stunning. Little coves like this sunk down among centuries old castle ruins and wild, centuries old palace gardens.

The water here is bluer than Trumps 16 million dollar paddling pool.
