Covering Blackberries

It's time to cover the blackberries as they're starting to ripen!  We've used clothespins to pin the fabric to the branches.

Blackberries!

Sorry for the lapse in postings this summer. Been busy, but also our camera died, so

had to be replaced. Now, onto the posting. This was one of our three blackberry plants

that really produced this year. After the rains, the berries really plumped up and produced. Notice the row covers we had to use - the birds were knocking the fruit off and eating it! :)

Trellis for Blackberries

We've finally made a trellis for the blackberries. These bushes are about 3 years old and are loaded with fruit and blossoms. So, it was time to make a trellis for them. I would love to make a couple more for grapevines.
