Probably the earliest Iā€™ve gotten my blackberries to start producing in ground.

Last year I had them ripen around July / August but this year itā€™s looking like Iā€™ll get them much early!
Itā€™s only May 8th here in zone 7 and I have pollinated flowers already :) attached are my Navaho blackberries, pink lemonade blueberries and some June bearing strawberries

Wow your Pink Lemonade is doing great! My Powder Blue is loaded with blueberries but my Pink Lemonade not so much. Yours looks more productive than mine. Have you tried Powderblue? It's also a Rabbit Eye so it will cross pollinate with your Pink Lemonade. Here is a pic of my Powderblue. We should have ripe ones pretty soon.

I just started getting blooms on my PrimeArk Freedom last week in zone 6a. This will be it's first full season. Received it last year as a small start and put it in ground last September. Hoping to taste something this season.

Ironically enough I had a powder blue that was sent in to me in a trade but it didnā€™t make it. Dried up and died so I donā€™t have it anymore šŸ˜” Iā€™m keeping my eyes out for it though! Definitely want to give it a good shot, currently have pink lemonade, bonus and Chippewa along with two others I forget haha

I purchased mine through Wellspring. Just a cheap TC start, but it seems to be vigorous so far. Thornless is a big plus.

June bearing raspberries started right on time yesterday June 1st. Glencoe purple thornless raspberries are excellent if youre looking to expand! Let's get it on :)

I actually just replaced my Heritage for Glencoe this year! Itā€™s only about 2ft tall but already making some berries :) I just needed a thornless variety haha
 
I got some Powder Blue's ripening. I don't know how many the cat birds have eaten. I didn't grow the tomatoes, a friend grew those. I'm not getting nearly as many blueberries as last year, partially because I've neglected them because I think I have too many fig trees. I have a bunch of 1st year fig trees that need up potting and I've been putting that off too. The pink lemonade blueberry bush only produced a few berries and is done for the year. The little Brightwell blueberry bush never woke up after winter. With all that being said, if someone were to say that I'm neglecting my trees because I'm procrastinating or lazy, and not because I have too many fig trees, I wouldn't argue with that. Lol
