My friends at Taylor Gardens have let me know that their blackberries are ripening early this year and they’re inviting everyone to come out and pick.

They’ve got a lovely little U-pick going along with a great nursery – I highly recommend paying them a visit if you’re within an hour or so’s drive.

Though the focus is mostly on ornamental plants, they do have some edibles (including Texas Everbearing Figs – the most productive large-fruited fig I have eve seen) and a lot of great support plants for attracting butterflies, bees and other pollinators.

Map, hours and phone number are at their website.
