We've got them all over the place here... big ones too... of course you have to fight the snakes for them but their awesome to snack on while fishing.

If we don't get any rain here soon there won't be anymore blackberries... with the mid 90 temps and no precip. their drying out pretty bad. Hopefully we have some heavy rains moving in... works been slow until we get some water to fall.

I use stuff like this over my thorn less blackberries. I discovered last year that is was best to get the netting up before the birds and squirrels started getting a taste of the ripe berries. They didn't mess with the netting like they did in previous years when I had put the netting up later after the berries had started to ripen.

This should be a direct link to click on for that site but its not copying and pasting like it usually does so you'll have to copy it and paste it to go to that site for the bird netting. I don't know why its not pasting as a hot link to that site.
