I will never be without blackberries here. Even if I somehow eradicate them all, they spill over the fence from the neighbours' place. The berries are delicious, but one doesn't want to be overrun by blackberry bushes. They are, alas, invasive.

The guy who started it all? Luther Burbank. His story fascinates me.
