I swear if you stayed still you could watch it grow. It would cover and engulf a building within a few days. Crazy stuff.....but no thorns and no berries. Not sure what it's usefulness was, if any.<br /><br />I prefer raspberries over black berries, but you're lucky to have such an abundance of the blackberries because if I wanted to buy them at the store they cost $3.00 just for a little pint.<br /><br />Hawky Dog sure is cute!

Easy to say when they aren't growing everywhere! ;-p<br /><br />How cute is it that your dog eats them right off the branches?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-60595814698741197772009-08-14T15:47:03.731-07:002009-08-14T15:47:03.731-07:00Aaahh yes, the detestable, delicious blackberry. ...Aaahh yes, the detestable, delicious blackberry. A true love/hate relationship to be sure. I just picked several handfuls last night and they are truly magnificent. I might be picking a few of those cursed things for a pie this weekend. :)<br />A pain in the ass but a delight when mixed with sugar and piecrust. Yummy!! <br />Oh and we tried some of your delish Canadian Maple syrup last night. Yummy for my tummy!!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-46854162758338528692009-08-14T12:37:25.581-07:002009-08-14T12:37:25.581-07:00LOL!!!!

My dad likes to eat them over shortcake and ice cream, like strawberry shortcake, only with black berries. I've heard they make a good jam too :) If you are that motivated to make jam.ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-88870136404100562212009-08-14T03:14:42.572-07:002009-08-14T03:14:42.572-07:00I can remember picking them for my grandmother to ...I can remember picking them for my grandmother to make pie and being scratched from head to foot. But that pie was SO worth it. As expensive as they are to buy, it could easily cost $10 for enough berries for one pie.Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-69653762538224067632009-08-13T22:32:21.728-07:002009-08-13T22:32:21.728-07:00I love Oregon blackberries!
