LOL - I'm just getting ready to replant a row of blackberries this spring/summer because I miss being able to walk out and pick them for my morning cereal. (blueberries, raspberries then blackberries - I buy no fruit in the summer)But they are pretty tough cookies and need a lot of room. They make a wonderful barrier-hedge, though. As you might expect... I don't see as many wild ones as I used to. I suspect the deer eat them when they're young.... (want to import some deer? I have 20 or 30 to spare...)
