I don't think I've ever heard of it. Must be fun to gather those little things. Hope you got a few quarts. But yes, there's poison ivy to reckon with. If it isn't bugs, it's the ivy! And then of course there are ticks, although there are fewer of them here now than in the spring. That’s interesting about the wineberry. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.

It is pretty similar to raspberries. They are a little sweeter and grown inside of a thorny husk which opens before they ripen. My daughter and I went picking wineberries this afternoon. We didn't run into any nasty insects, but we did have to be careful not to step in any poison ivy. Down here in Connecticut there is an interesting berry, the wineberry.

Yes, New England offers those kinds of benefits plus the insects, as you know so well. It must be totally different out where you are now. But it's great for you to remember those days I bet. Cheers. :smile: Stay well. Hey, thanks, Danielle. Yes, New England offers those kinds of benefits plus the insects, as you know so well. It must be totally different out where you are now.

We used to have a few spots even in the city where we could find blackberries and blueberries. I remember many a day with stained fingers and a sticky smile. I don't miss the insects however at all.
