I still have to find the right blackberries for this area. I found a listing just for Texas late last night and think that is the list to use. By planting two kinds that follow each other ripening in Texas, could have ripe ones most of the summer months. Can order the 2 yr. plants that produce that year. That isn't expensive since I'm not planting an acre in berries.

I couldn't find the right type fertilizer for containers around here, so ordered some Jobes for containers plus a not big bag of fertilizer just for tomatoes when they start to grow tomatoes in that container.

Sounds good. I love blackberries: fresh, jelly, or canned. When I was a kid, we used to open a jar of home canned blackberries and juice, put a serving in a bowl, add a little heavy cream from the fresh milk, stir and eat it. It was a great treat anytime of the year.
