🗓 Season: July · August · June
🔍 When is it ripe?
Blueberry: Deep blue-purple with a silvery bloom; stem scar (not stem) at the top. Taste is the best test — a truly ripe blueberry is sweet and has no pink flesh inside. Let the cluster go fully blue before picking the whole thing.
Raspberry: Deep red (or gold/yellow for golden varieties) and slides off the receptacle — the hollow centre is the tell. Does not pull: a ripe raspberry separates at a touch. Extremely fragile; use within hours of picking.
If you take the 71 winter trail from P15 toward where it meets up with the 72, there is an unofficial trail that cuts across the east shore of Carman lake under the cliffs. The terrain is giant boulders so wear sturdy footwear (I broke my toe there in Keens). Once out on the rocks by the water, there are good patches of wild blueberries and strawberries, as well as a couple raspberry bushes that are hardly ever picked.
