Before and after trimming up the blackberries before berry production really kicks off. A lot of buds are forming and the first few are opening.

So it was time to trim! I've worked out over the years that taking the leaves off of the bottom 2/2.5 feet of the bushes helps improve airflow to reduce fungus/blight. And it also helps predatory bugs and birds get better access to pest bugs on the plants.

(South San Francisco, California) Meet Onion! She’s a young rabbit in need of a new home. She is not spayed. She’s currently in a home with a dog and does well with them. She’s very food motivated.   Since she isn’t fixed, Onion has some behavior issues and would benefit from being spayed as well as being in a home with someone who knows rabbits. She is located in South San Francisco. There is a $35 rehoming fee. Contact Lauren at [email protected] for more information.
