Jameson gaurds the loot while I go get the pickup truck. We bought a cloud pomegranate, a pong koa mandarin, and a bundle of
kiowa blackberries. It was chilly. We got to the sale a half an hour early, and there were about a hundred people ahead of us in line. Once they let us all in, it was complete chaos. They ran out of wagons about five people ahead of us. We got what we came for though.
Check out those great hats. Dez brings back a keeper from childhood.
Blackberries. They had to go in the ground right away because the roots were exposed. We got jipped. There were only nine stalks when there were supposed to be ten.
Here is a
link to pruning and training trailing blackberry brambles after the first year of growth. I didn't have a chance to read up on how to plant them before I stuck them in the ground. It turns out that stalks should be 10 feet apart (instead of 8 inches), and rows should be 12 feet apart. Oops. I guess I will be replanting them soon. We have limited and sporadic space, so they'll be scattered around.

It's nice to see someone else's experience at the urban harvest tree sale. It sure was hectic and crowded there. Check out my take on it at http://400wordz.com/?p=10.
