birds, mostly. The thorns are sharp as fuck. I used to live somewhere there they grew wild in the ditch out front, and those bastards will poke through blue jeans
Yep! Same with the thorns on lemon and orange trees. The thorns can get to be over 2 inches long that start out green and flexible but harden into a wood and are sharp as needles
you know, I was thinking of growing lemons indoors (we still get a bit of frost now and again where I live), but now I'm not sure if it's a good idea, lol.
Like I said, I've got a black thumb, so I'll have to take your word for it, lmao.
regarding the blackberries, they grow wild here in texas at least, so I don't imagine they'd be too terribly hard to get established (they'll actually take over if they can help it), and the berries are quite abundant.
Oh yes every farm used to have blackberry bushes and mulberry. Once my neighbor's iguana pet burst out of the screen, and he was in the blackberry bush of my senior neighbors who planted all this in WWII, Iggy was chowing down. The vet said keep his diet of low sugar fruit going.
Mother and stepfather figured out if you put the potatoes on top of the soil and cover them with straw, they come out less knobby and more uniform.
I've a black thumb, but yeah...
Also, blackberries will grow wild and can also act as a deterant from someone coming onto your property (sharp, nasty little thorns).
Don't animals get at them?
