Blackberries cleared, teepee trellis is up, and beans are in. I dug up as many blackberry roots as I could find before putting down several layers of cardboard and then the sand. I assume I’ll be spending the rest of the growing season playing whack-a-mole with the blackberries.

We’ve got blackberry and wineberry I’ve been trying to keep at bay since we bought our place 10 years ago. They’re definitely good at surviving.
Good to hear about the library beans. When I finally planted my starts we got cooler weather. But the next 2 weeks look warm so hopefully they’ll shoot up.
