But I do recognise the blackberry scratches. Here on the other side of the world blackberries are listed as noxious weeds so you need to be careful not to pick the ones sprayed with weed killer by our ever vigilant council workers. I LOVE blackberry pie but it's an endangered animal here.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914350639398715648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-89627240984659430092013-09-13T15:36:31.676-07:002013-09-13T15:36:31.676-07:00I haven't lived there for over forty years, bu...I haven't lived there for over forty years, but I don't think they used to have the Himalayan blackberry, which is the nuclear one.
