I can't believe these beautiful jewels just exist on plants?

I love watching the birds and squirrels go in for a treat, and am thankful they leave us some. I think this is the most we harvested in one go, which is getting me excited for future years 💕

What type of berries are these? I thought blackberries at first but the ones that we grew at my mom's place never had so much... whatever that white stuff is.

They are called thimbleberry here but last time I posted I learned there are three berries with thimbleberry as their common name and I grow two of them 😅

I believe it is Rubus occidentalis, but I did not plant them. They just showed up off the back deck 2 years ago.

These are black raspberries and are very picky where they can grow. They're a sweeter version of raspberries. They're absolutely fantastic. Take a look in the grocery store and you may be able to find a black raspberry ice cream.
