Oh, I want some blackberries! I have a blackberry plant, but me being the inattentive gardener that I am, cut down LAST years canes. So I have a lot of leafy canes on the bush right now but NO FRUIT! I forgot that the fruit develops on the previous years canes, ARGH. Oh well, maybe next year....

Don't worry they will grow back like gang busters next year! Just remember not to cut them down. Tie a ribbon or something on them to remind yourself.

haven't picked blackberries since i was a kid (and probaly nearly as long since i had good blackberry cobbler). it's another memory plant for me. i got 4 plants last year and planted them in pots, but this last winter had it's way with them. guess i'll need to replace them 'cause some good blackberries are on my mind now.

We planted blueberry/raspberry and blackberry bushes/canes a few years ago along with two grape vines. Deers got the blueberries and the canes just died on us. I chalk it up to the fact that hubby was not that interested in planting them and I was too pregnant with the twins to be much physical help and plant them myself. Blackberries are full of memories for me. I loved going to go pick wild blackberries with my mama when I was little.
