Blackberry Picking at Webb Ranch
Today we got an early start and headed out to Webb Ranch, a farm tucked between Stanford and the nearby foothills. We broke out the buckets and did our first ever blackberry picking. It was still early in the season, but we did end up with almost four pounds in our buckets and nearly the same amount in our tummies...you know, sampled for quality control. Julie and Nate were both pros, and didn't need much help finding the ripe ones. Afterwards we celebrated our bounty at City Pub for lunch, took a walk around the block, and finished planting our garden seeds. Next up for tomorrow: making blackberry pie!
