Gardening

We inherited berry bushes from my next door neighbor. His berry bushes continually sent out runners tried to take over some of our beds, but we were diligent enough to cut most of them back. One Runner started a bush and was in good location so we left it, we believe it's a BlackBerry. Every year my family has been picking berries off this bush, they tell me they are delicious. Our neighbor passed, we have a new neighbor now and he pulled out all the berry bushes, so no more runners. I'm glad we have this one bush as a reminder of my prior neighbor, he was a good neighbor and fellow gardener.

They look like blackberries to me. I got thornless blackberries a few years ago. They are not as prolific as the kind with thorns but both are quite yummy.

My husband absolutely loves blackberries. I buy those small plastic containers of fresh berries with my grocery order. There is a brand called "Carolina Sweets" or something like that; they are huge berries and very tasty.

I'm not a berry eater but like I said before my family loves them. it's right by the entrance to my vegetable garden. I did not notice any thorns, so I assume it's a thornless variety. It's been a strong healty bush.
