Blackberries, Weeds and Clematis, Oh My!

| We have had some massive heat here in the Northeast this week. Luckily, everything seems to fairing okay, including my clematis pictured above. We have been doing a lot of gardening at 8 am in the morning before the humidity really sets in. We tackled some of the weeds in the big bed and I’d love to know more about which weeds are growing and how they affect different aspects of a garden. Follow along in the pictures below to see what’s happening in our garden this week. |

Looks like you will have a wonderful harvest come summer. I would love to grow blackberries, maybe I’ll give it a try. That is one HUGH weed.

i agree with Ann, you will have a wonderful harvest soon! I find it so interesting to see folks wanting to grow blackberries….here in Washington State they are so invasive that if they start in your landscape they will take over. One way many people try to control the blackberry here is to hire a goat to come and eat the shrubs in the landscape ~ although i will say, we love stopping and picking them on the road side for pies…yum! xoox, tracie
ps thanks so much for linking up to Fishtail Cottage’s garden party! enjoyed reading your post!
Your garden is beautiful with the mix of flowers, fruit and vegetables! I love the deep, deep purple clematis and iris–one of my favorite garden colors.
We have been doing some serious gardening around here too. With the early spring and lots of rain everything is growing like crazy. Your deep purple clematis is so gorgeous. 🙂
Wow everything looks so great at your place. don’t you just love those weeds with those big ole roots?
