Lots of blackberries

Thanks EVERYONE for all your great replies. Really got my brain back into gear. Making blackberry and apple jam tonight. Anyone know any way to soften up those seeds???

"In the wrong state" buy some plants or go on the barter board and ask for some. They grow fine everywhere in PA I've ever visited but maybe not wild. I never saw any in NJ either where I used to live. Don't live without the "the joy of blackberries".

Going out to pick more,

If you are thinking about buying blackberries I would recommend waiting till next year. There is a variety that is everbearing (both the primocanes and floracanes bear) and yields berries starting in June and continuing through the summer. According to a recent article in Farm and Dairy this variety was released to nurseries this year and the first plants should be available generally next year.
