Wild Blackberries!

We have a wall of Blackberries in our trees.  It is tricky trying to pick them without getting thorns in our skin but it is worth it in the end. 

So far we have enjoyed blackberries on cereal, in yogurt, in smoothies and we even made a blackberry cobbler with some friends!

   





The bushes go over a deep crevice/irrigation ditch, so we use the ladder to get to the hard-to-reach berries. It is not without its risks.  It drops off about 3 feet and that is really deep when considering you will fall into a tangle of thorns!
