I finally gave up on trying to grow a fig tree after 4 failed attempts.

I have two Meyers lemon trees, but not yet had a ripe lemon. One has a lemon growing and about to ripen, though.

Being from the South, I have not yet grown accustomed to the need to plant blackberries, they grew wild there, and I see a few growing here in S E Texas. I think I will have a friend there send us some to get seeds, since I haven’t a clue what variety to buy and my wife is bout out of BB jelly.

Based on my research for southeast Texas, I bought three Ouachita Thornless Blackberry plants (sticks). I bought mine at GreenwoodNursery.com - two year old plants. Here they are at our Lowes:

Lowes doesn’t say how old these plants are. They will produce berries their second year. These berries are large and sweet and hold up well according to what I read about these berries being grown in Texas, but not in north Texas. These plants are for our area and south.
