Shreddies: the most commonly found blackberries in Seattle [link]

Yep, those are what are in the back corner of my yard. With thistles sprouting out of them, which makes me VERY unhappy. Plei, if I went after the thistles with long-handled clippers (and gloves and long sleeves!), do you think I'd be able to remove them?

Going by the images, the feralberries are definitely blackberries--

They are a great luxury during the season. When I worked at University Hospital I commuted on the trail along Lake Union. On the way in I would gorge myself on those blackberries. I would feel a little sick by the time I got to work, but usually recovered enough to gorge myself again on the way home.

FWIW, I almost never get you guys mixed up

I do all the time on scrolling.

cobbler is my favorite thing in the world.

I had the most amazing peach cobbler in Florida last month.

there are a couple of trees in the neighborhood that bear what looks like blackberries. is that possible? from a tree, not a bush. Anyway, I always want to figure out a way to pick a bunch, but it seems odd to be picking up dropped berries on a NYC sidewalk.

I need to make an apple cobbler, because I have this: [link] and haven't used it yet! Cute.

I think my parents have mulberry or something tree in their backyard, but the berries never get ripe before the squirrels eat them.

Yeah, you should be.

If the weather stays cool, I may tackle them tomorrow night. Finally, a reason to wear my old motorcycle jacket again!

Mulberries? We had a ton on the elem. schoolyard and they were the scrouge of teachers (kids+berries=mess) and line-driers everywhere (grackled ate them, pooped purple poop on clean laundry and stained it.)

We were always told they weren't edible. I recall they were sour, so presumably they weren't fatal. Just icky.

Fast Company magazine has named Chicago "US City of the Year," with a great article written by Alex Kotlowitz (author of "There Are No Children Here" and "Never a City So Real").

Drat. That means they're probably going to end up in my neighborhood bar at some point.
