The brambles (𝘙𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴 sp.) on the Wiley Trails may be done berrying for the year, but they're displaying some gorgeous autumn colors:

Can a model trained on satellite data really find brambles on the ground?

This is not a post on baking. It is a post on gardening. And I am looking for advice from gardeners who grow bramble fruit.

I have had blackberry plants (Rubus 'Illini hardy') along the garage for close to 20 years. During the first dozen years, each plant sent up multiple canes each year, and the fruit yield the following year was enough for several pies.

But in recent years, the plants (which began as three and now are five) have been sending up only one or two canes each year, and this year's yield was only enough for half of the pie recipe. I had to purchase blackberries to get to the full 4 c (1 L) needed to bake this pie.

I am aware that part of the problem is tree growth that has increased the shade by the garage. I have done some pruning to improve the amount of sunlight, but I was wondering whether there are other steps I should be taking to get the yields back to where they once were.

Any suggestions, bramble growers?

My teen and I just got back from a beautiful three and a half hour hike over at Thompson Park, a fair portion of which was spent in the shade snacking on the copious dewberries (𝘙𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘶𝘴):

Yay! I got an allotment! After over 2 years waiting, I am super excited to be growing, experimenting and learning about plants, veg, soil, herbs and much more!

Lots of work to do though..😅 brambles and whatnot to clear..
I'll start with a small patch, let see how it goes!
