My blackberry bramble is coming along nicely. Added 5 more plants to it.

And my asparagus seeds are sprouting! I’ve got about 60 seedlings so far, yay! Hopefully they won’t die.

I hope you saw the article I posted earlier on this thread about the Asparagus farm operated by a widow here in WI. It's on the first, or second, page of this thread. Worth the read.

How do you have your blackberry bramble controlled? I mean trellises, wires, etc. Is there any structure to it?

We’re just setting out the canes this year. We’re going to have a chain link fence just the other side of the bramble. We’ll let it ‘free form’ on that side. I plan to give it/them about 5-6’ ‘this’ side of the chain link fence as theirs and mow the edges. Clean out the trees/privet hedge/big weeds once a year. We’re aiming for country concertina wire. On the cheap.

Yes, I saw the posts about the asparagus farm. Interesting. Not sure I’d be that into asparagus.
