We are planning a trip to Grayson Highlands. Can anyone tell me if the blueberries and blackberries are ripe now, or if they might be in a week or so. Thanks.
I was there a couple of weeks ago, and they were pretty darn close. We found one that was out of the millions we looked at. :)

Early August is generally a good time for blueberries at Grayson Highlands. I have often picked blueberries and blackberries at the same time.

Yup, that's when we usually go, but with the early spring and weird weather, I was wondering if they might be a little early this year.
Last year was very slim pickings. I had a local tell me it was the worst crop in his memory. I guess there was a bad frost that hit right at the time of blossoms and ruined the possibility of a good crop.
