In My Kitchen Garden: Blackberries – Make That Dewberries

See the comments for an explanation of the title.
Today we harvested close to a pint of blackberries from the volunteer canes growing in our yard. As a friend recently commented in regards to her own yard, at least there’s an upside to not being vigilant about the weeds. These came from a patch that didn’t even exist last year, and the ones that were doing well last year have been crowded out by vines. I feel like if I were trying to cultivate them they wouldn’t be doing as well as they are on their own. We sat on the deck and ate a few succulent berries, and my daughter had more for dessert. I’m thinking about putting the rest of them into scones. Or maybe just yogurt.
I keep wanting to get tomatillos to put in the garden, but I haven’t looked diligently for any plants. When I grew them in Indiana they thrived in hot weather and produced more fruit than I could use. I figure they might do well here.
My second chemotherapy treatment was last week. The immediate aftermath was much worse than the first time, but I’m feeling better more quickly. I did lose a lot of my hair after the first treatment, and shaved the rest.
