I'd have to see the picture to know more about it. Do you mean the
vines had the soil behind them, like they were against a wall, or that the
dirt was hilled up around the vines?
Incidently, I saw a book today that sounds like it's right up your alley
- "Wild Berries of the West" from Mountain Press Publishing. All sorts of
edible and not very edible wild berries. It's a recent book, too.
