From the neighbor’s bush, growing over our fence. Himalayan blackberries… really sweet and tasty. Tons of them…

A couple friends of mine were renting a house out near Tigard and they had a giant blackberry jungle in the backyard, the landlord told them that if they cut the blackberries out, he’d give them a couple months free rent…so they did. They found a 62 Plymouth Valiant inside the growth, Hippy Mark spent a couple days going over everything and cleaning years of grime off, he spent about 200 dollars in plugs and a battery etc, and the thing ran like a champ.

They look delicious!
Blackberries aren’t just delicious, they are so full of good stuff, especially antioxidants.

I was just out there picking them and they’re so good… I think the best way to eat berries is as you pick them.

It’s a law in Oregon that you are required to make Blackberry Cobbler at least once a summer and it should be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for max. authenticity.
Furthermore it is required to be packaged and sent to any friends you have in California.

there’s so much fruit on that thing… it might be an invasive species but if you got one you got berries foreva… fuck Driscoll’s. I just took a chair out and started picking some higher up, ate so many berries… there’s so many ripening and baby fruits still forming…
It is a little overgrown, pretty impossible to get them from the top. It’s super thorny and it can be treacherous picking them.

I have thornless thimble berries
I guess this was one of the plants used to make the commercial Marionberry cultivar.

In the valley the berries are usually a tad longer, and thicker.
Where I’m from, it’s the twig, not the berries, so much.
I feel ya Bro.
