Grow your own organic blackberries

By Amanda Moon

I have a love/hate relationship with blackberries. Most of the other berries that we grow in this area require lots and lots of additional care, soil and hard work to yield an okay crop. But with blackberries, if they’re happy, they will gladly produce quarts of fruit with little prodding, while quietly taking over your yard.  

This is not a bad thing if you’ve prepared for it in advance, and preparation is crucial if you want to be successful growing blackberries here in central Texas.
