And a pair of pruning shears . And even then I expect to get a buncha
thorn wounds from the blackberry brambles I'm about to clean up . These are
wild berries , been growing on our land for time out of mind as far as I
know . But I don't have a thick hide like the bears that like to eat 'em ,
so I'm planning on thinning them out a bit , cutting lanes so I can harvest
them , and cutting out all the dead canes from years past . If we get enough
rain to support all the blossoms just forming buds , but they're thick!
we'll be freezin' some for sure ! And I don't even know yet how the
muscadines are going to produce ... a lot depends on whether or not we get
enough rain . Last year there were tons of blackberries that just shriveled
up because it was so dry .

Pray for rain ...
at the right time
and the right amount .
