Once I invited my husband and neighbors to visit - a cup of tea, but the news everyday talk. My neighbor - an avid lover of baking, and therefore to our arrival simply divine baked cake with blackberries. Frankly, so yummy we still have never had, so my husband just asked me to take a friend's recipe and "spoiled" family such viand even on holidays. Naturally, his wife refused, I could not, therefore, "Lit up" the desire to plant blackberries on your siteTo bake cakes exclusively from natural berries.
So without thinking twice, I went to the little market, and bought a small bush - then I was sure that sort of special role will not play, so she took the first available under the arm transplant. Oh, if I knew then what will turn this idea ...
In general, with the landing I do not particularly bother - new bush perfectly settled down near my raspberry, and already in the first year I have collected a long-awaited harvest - a couple of small berries.
In the second year, things went even better -
shrub grown well and richly fruitedBut the berries remained small and sourish, but that I was not particularly bothered.The most interesting was to come - blackberries began to grow so fast that I only have time to watch it shoots emerging, crawling to the raspberry bushes. It got to the point that growth appeared on the strawberry patch, then that my patience came to an end.
Having studied the gardeners forum, I understand where erred - yet when it needed planting blackberry roots something protectSo they do not grow all over the garden. But what can you do, live - and learn, as they say.
In general, with grief in half, my husband and I cut down all the same it shoots, and then dug up the roots, but I think that in the spring of them still have to tinker. Complicated the process of its ubiquitous thorns that stabbed us all trades.
So now, if you decide to once again get a blackberry on the site, buy has a good variety without thorns and with large sweet berries.
