Blackberries have NASTY thorns but they are sooo yummy. I was on my way to do another picking and noticed Jonathan's pincher grabber thing that he brought home from the hospital some time ago. It is the most remarkable little device on the planet. I reach up and bring the berries to me instead of sacrificing my arms in through the thorns to go after the berries. It greatly increases my yield because I can reach the big plump yummy ones that no one else can reach. I have picked gallons and just canned up 7 quarts of pie filling. I cannot wait for dutch oven cobbler with those little devils.
I am finding it is quite the coveted item. While picking I had a nice gentleman drive by, turn around, and ask if I had a special tool for picking berries. I tried to explain it was a surgical instrument for performing laparoscopies that my sweetie pie brought home from the hospital. Limited edition.
