“Grow your own plump blackberries and save money; good gardens are cheaper than therapy. Start with three shoots this spring, then next spring you’ll have 16, and the spring after that 100, and the spring after that you’ll lose count and feed the birds.” That was my sales pitch at the bargain hunters old-fashioned yard sale this past week. UCLife sold 20 organic, thornless, primocane blackberry shoots and 5 mix ‘n match vegetable plants, bringing $220 to the table.  Berries are the main ingredient in this morning’s breakfast bowl treat covered in kefir, topped with pecans. ~Stacy
