@contentandwell I like blackberries. Around this area, they grow wild, without prompting. I like when they grow on the sides of roads since the deer usually do not go through them and onto the road. Deer vs motor vehicle is a common call on scanner, and can be deadly. But they are invasive, and like the old scary movies, will literally take over a yard, or house, etc. They are a great source of ticks and other things, besides sweet berries. The empty lots around us have blackberry bushes with canes as thick as my wrist, and I can harvest berries there. We want to plant that slope with veggies and flowers. Or something the deer don't consider a delicacy.

@gingerw Around here it's blueberries that grow wild. In our prior home we had loads of them in the area beyond where we had lawn. Wild blueberries are so small though that it took forever to pick them. Wild blueberries are so much more delicious than the larger ones though, just as the local, smaller strawberries are so much more flavorful too.
