Gotta say fuck blackberries. Their bushes are evil.

As in... a bit invasive? I have a raspberry and I'm a bit wary of it getting away from me. I just dug up the runners that escape my raised bed and they're amazingly long.

As someone from the PNW, I agree with the other comment. Fuck blackberries. Stupid tasty invaders.

I've only been here a few years but I've got a love hate relationship with them. My roommate last year got snagged walking near one and it took them to the ground, busted up their knee and hands. I've almost been pulled off my bike by them. They're about to completely overtake my yard we've lost maybe 4 feet between this year and last. But also fresh blackberry pie and jam for days is an amazing thing and almost makes it worth it

It's this in you garden or natural? I kind of want to plant one in my garden this year? I know I'll have to trim and pull but and to know if it's worth it

#Accessibility is a virtue on Mastodon. There are quite a few #blind or visually impaired people who use this medium with their screen readers for precisely this reason. There are also quite a few users who neither favor nor boost posts with media without #alttext text.

One of the better uses for AI is for alt texting images. Someone could set up bots on picture posting communities.
