Black raspberries? [Waterville]
Anybody seen black raspberries for sale at a farm stand or elsewhere this summer? It's about the right time but I've seen nothing around Waterville yet.

I'm just starting to get a few on my bush. Give it another week or two.

I have a few bushes of blackberries and they are just now starting to get ripe. I would say in a week or two you will be able to find them easily.

Blackberries?

They aren't ready yet. Still green on bushes 2 weeks ago. Drive around and find your own to pick. It's better that way

Diane at the belfast friday market (and i think is at the camden saturday market) had them today! i meant to buy some but got too caught up loving on her golden retriever, Otto, that i forgot about it! I don't remember the name of her farm, but she's next to the chicken guy (i think second on the left?) if you walk into the market on the side further from the street. I know this is vague and im sorry but ill be there next friday getting some and waiting for the golden ones! good luck!

They are Hubbard Brook Farm — Kevin and Diane, very good sources for berries and fruit and Diane’s wonderful baskets. Also the goldens are wonderful.

My source half hour northwest says they're not ready yet.
Yup. I'm in Mass, which is about 2 weeks ahead of Maine for produce and my black raspberries are just turning red now. Give it another 2-3 weeks.
I misread this post as blackberries, not black raspberries. My red raspberries are pretty much done producing, good year though. I guess black raspberries ripen later??. Don't know much about that strain.
