Blackberries on Parade!



God willing and the creek don't rise we're going to have a bumper crop of blackberries in the Community Garden this year. As always, "the race is to the swift" so keep your eyes open for the moment the berries reach their peak--and then pick them for pies, jam, or just munching off the cane. They look wonderful.

We also thank Richard and Jane Pille for their donation of yet another bunch of blackberry canes which we have planted alongside the foundation of our little storage building just behind the Children's Garden. The space was largely wasted and given over to weeds; now, it will be productive and useful space and we'll have more berries next year. Thank you, Richard and Jane for your donation--and everything you do!
