Hmmmm wonder if gojis would grow in our area? That sounds so cool!

I’m impressed with your 6 jars! I was tickled to get a few handfuls of blackberries from my one berry bush. They were really good, and somehow the birds had mercy and let me have them. We planted two more bushes, so we’ll see.

You are in another universe when it comes to persimmons. I have no experience with them at all. I do wish you well with them!

Well, I also made a couple of wild blackberry cobblers. Missouri has some good native/wild plants. My Granny used to make wild black berry/grape jelly every year.

We Placed Huge Hoops around the bushes and covered with nets. Birds still got lots of the produce before the drought ruined them.

Wrens like to eat ensects, and are territorial. They will drive the fruit - loving birds away(at least that is what I read). So we have put up some wren houses around the grapes and blackberries for this year as an additional preventative.
