blackberry harvesting

went out this morning with 3 half-gallon berry buckets (half-gallon milk cartons with the tops cut off) and came back with 1 bucket and 2 children filled to the top.

I’m freezing a bunch of berries (like half of them) and will bake the rest in a peach or nectarine and blackberry crostada, a kind of open fruit tart/fruit pizza on a crisp pastry crust. Have I mentioned how I love summer fruit?
