When we lived in Lewiston, Idaho we'd go up the Clearwater River and pick berries near Spaulding. Our best, though, was when our son lived in Seattle, and he'd walk across the street from his house, pick the berries, then bring them to me! That was a lot less work.<br /><br />I think there are blackberries along the railroad tracks just off of SR 240 in Kennewick, but there's no way I'd ever try to access them, LOL!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-60995289093501246902013-07-15T16:49:27.937-07:002013-07-15T16:49:27.937-07:00We used to love to harvest wild blackberries near ...We used to love to harvest wild blackberries near the ferry on the Willamette River north of Salem, Oregon.

They aren't perfect, I get a lot of small berries, but they are quite productive and tasty. I've often thought about switching to a June bearing so I can harvest them all at once and get it over with, then I think about these fresh berries all summer, even if there are only a few harvested at a time.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-46161602304340514502013-07-15T13:20:18.959-07:002013-07-15T13:20:18.959-07:00That figures!That figures!langelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890043518879123806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-59318371916652841792013-07-15T12:48:58.398-07:002013-07-15T12:48:58.398-07:00What a beautiful and varied harvest again!

My husband planted ours years ago and they are far from the tastiest variety, really not all that sweet, so I'm thinking of stealthily buying some new plants and replacing them.
