Thanks to Johnny U for pointing out a spot that's been right under our noses for years. If you've got that hunter-gatherer urge and blackberries are your quarry, then this is for you.

The alley running E-W, between Edmunds and Ferdinand, 42nd and 39th — it's flanked by two solid rows of large, ripe blackberries. It's just the right mix of sunny, watered, overgrown, and public!

In less than an hour, the boys and I picked a couple gallons (net).

I used to think this was the place for blackberries, but I take it back. It's too overgrown, and the season has been too dry.

But wade along the shore on the east side of Seward park, and it's berry heaven. I know the Parks Dept has worked hard to replace the exotic blackberries with native plants, but the berries are back in force. They've got all the water & sun they need, and they're easy to get to.

You're welcome to pick at my hedge, I keep it pruned. Lots of neighbors pick there—it's traditional, on corner of 37th So, Lucile.
