hi all

I live on a small main road and have wild blackberries
in the front garden (about 30 foot from road)

would these be bad/dangerous to eat
(after thorough washing obviously)

I would never pick blackberries from a roadside, not because of animal
contamination but because of deposits from exhausts. They're not water
soluble so can't be washed off. the distance you state should be enough
barrier to prevent most of that.

The devil doesn't **** on them until the end of the month. He told me.
