Self-boosting (sorry) because apparently there was an attack against mastodon.social yesterday and it didn't get out.
Transcript of the audio:
This is Himalaya blackberry. It is invasive in the Pacific Northwest and very aggressive. But it grows these really, really tasty blackberries that make really good pie. And I'm hoping...really hoping...that we have enough of it.

@lemay@mastodon.social It seems impossible you wouldn't have enough, haha. Unlike many people, the fruit does not sway me towards forgiving the incredible invasiveness of this plant. Too much time fighting it. Also, I've noticed the move towards the more correct "Armenian blackberry" has not caught on. I sort of doubt it will, tbh. Much like we colloquially call cinnabar moths tansy moths in my part of OR, my guess is "Himalayan" isn't going anywhere.
