Living in a wooded area of Oregon, we’ve got so many blackberry bushes most folks consider them weeds! We like them, but do have to work to keep them beat into submission. Would love to try growing raspberries here as well! We also have huckleberries on our property. A bit of a pain to pick, but well worth it when we get to consume the bounty. Of course my kids (I have a Nathan and Lindsay) are just about as eager to help out with all the picking as your’s sound! LOL They’re actually pretty good about it though. Promises of homemade goodies featuring the fruits of their harvest seems to help

Thanks for sharing your recipes. I’ll be back when I have more time to browse..
