Those things are weeds around here! I never see them so robust and nice! Do you get big berries? Do you do anything with the old canes at the end of the season? I'll look around for pictures, but folks out here make fences out of them and really cool decorative balls!
This is their first real year of production. I put them in the winter before last. The first year they were just babies.
My grandfather had blackberries growing wild behind his house. I remember picking them. He also had a coop of chickens and a big veggie garden. I think all this stuff is in my blood because I'm drawn to it all. haha
Yeah no kidding - those thorns smart, and they are so tiny that when they get under your skin it's not easy to get them out again. I considered thornless blackberries, but they say they don't grow so well in our climate.
