just went to see if any blackberries were black yet.. and yummmm ate my way along as i took pics...
the best part about putting blackberries in with the flowers is i can snack my way around while collecting and scattering seeds..and these are thornless upright canes.. so even better

Hungry again! Garlic and blackberries. YUM!!!
The weeds are thriving at my house. We're starting to cool off a bit, and got a little bit of rain. The blackberries took me back to Hanna, many years ago, with Aunt Bess and her rasberry canes. If the smoke and fires will ever clear out, I want to make a visit up to Hanna. I'd like to take my husband up there.
Blackberry sauce over garlic ice cream? :-\

Actually... I have had garlic ice cream, and found it quite delightful! A wee bit o' raspberry sauce would be quite nice.
I'm quite fond of garlic, and I like rasberry chipotle sauce, but I'm still not sure about garlic ice cream. I think I'll be a coward and stick with with chocolate.

LOL! It really is nothing like One might expect. And quite good.
Berrys >>> Juicer
Dribbling :-X
hahahahah...they would never make it to a juicer...
it is sooo blasted hot here...95 or something....
we're boiling
My blackberries raspberries and yellow raspberries are not doing so well in this heat. All I can do is keep them alive till end of august and see if I can get them to revive. Strawberries too... what few are coming out are being eaten by bugs. I will just have to build that greenhouse this fall if I want ant produce :(
Don't really want to spray but looks like I have no choice... our yard is the greenest oasis around here LOL
This is a House in Vegas run by another of my fave gardener's (Sky is one) :D
His water bill must be mega to keep those greens looking as good as they can in that climate :O
