Actually, 2003 was a really bad year. We had separate killing frosts around March 1st and March 15th. Our bushes are wild so they don't all bloom at once (like the ones in the U-pick farm up the highway), but two hard freezes during blooming season got almost all the blooms. We had maybe 10% of our usual crop.

Maybe I'll bring some of the blackberries that used to be along the roadside before they got mowed down.
