I dug some up and planted them in a row. I put up some fencing for them to
cling to. Then I ran some soaker hose along the row. I put down some tick
graduals to keep from having problems with ticks and chiggers. Then My wife
mowed 20 ft on each side of the row to keep the weeds and volunteer
blackberries under control. We started getting flowers she second year, and
picked from the end of June through July. That is when I got tired of
messing with them and letting the birds and bugs have the rest. I had
picked and canned 10 gallons, given away 3 gallons and sold 2 more. All
this was from 17 plants.

I have in the yard of my new house a plant that I've been told might be
a black berry bush, fast growing thorny vines and plain green leaves.
But there are no berries. If it is such a plant, is there something I
can or should do to help it sprout berries? It's been 5 months now, and
of course the season is probably over now, but I'm wondering why there
were no berries all summer. Could it be something else?
