No they don't grow here.

Every summer in Olympia, WA. I would pick a pair of old tennis shors to sacrifice to the blackberry stains gods! Heehee. I miss those acres of wild blackberries. There is nothing like that here in the Gulf South. There are blackberries, but they are puny and too few to do much with. ?
To this day, my sentimental favorite dessert of all is blackberry cobbler with melted vanilla ice cream. Mmm

We had much more of the hybrid black raspberries in Upstate New York. No one else seems to have heard of them.

By the gallons. It was a family affair. Even the dog went along.

Blackberry preserves and blackberry cobblers were delights!

And I still do.

@Sheannutt I have some growing in my garden so don't have to take a road trip.

@Sheannutt I've been picking on mine for a couple of weeks now. Of course, I'm sharing some with the birds, squirrels, and a friendly tortoise that comes by every now and then.

@Sheannutt Patience. Here, they are normally ready to be picked around the 4th of July.

@Sheannutt That reminds me. I need to go pick some now, for the health of the fat critters running around here.

@Sheannutt Only got a large handful. I have a 4' x 5' blackberry bed. Had big plans of making a cobbler, but they haven't rippened in mass for me to do that. I like them in cereals and on ice-cream. What do you do with the ones you pick?

@Sheannutt Yes, I bet you are.

Still do. I go picking with my grandchildren and we make blackberry and apple crumble.

Himalayan, an escaped cultivar is very invasive, I have more than I could possibly use and routinely cut them back. I make jelly and syrup yearly.

@Sheannutt when I lived in Maine I had a Great Dane that would graze the wild raspberries with me

Beware the chiggers .

@Sheannutt I've found planting mint around areas I'd like to sit in , keeps the mosquitos away . I;m wondering if rubbing mint leaves on your ankles would help to keep the chiggers away , as well ? Would smell a lot nicer than kerosene , and a whole lot less likely to catch fire .

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by KilltheskyfairyI love all the information on the internet that makes me a better gardener…

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
