🗓 Season: July · August · September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Blackberry: Fully black (not red or dark red) and comes off the stem with no resistance — zero pull. Dull rather than shiny; a shiny black berry is still slightly underripe and tart. Eat the same day for best flavour.
European pear: Pick when background colour shifts from green to yellow-green and the stem separates cleanly. Finish ripening indoors — flesh near the stem should give slightly when pressed.
Plum: Colour fully develops (purple, red, or yellow by variety) and a waxy bloom appears on the skin. Softens slightly at the tip. Taste-test for sweetness — European plums are better slightly soft; Japanese types can be harvested firmer.
Developed and no longer present as of 2023. At the corner of SW Farmington Ave. and SW 170th Ave. in Aloha, OR sits an empty lot of dirt and dying grass surrounds a center acre of tall trees and forest-like foliage including blackberry bushes, Bosc pear trees, purple plum trees and more.
