In my travels around Tilden, Nebraska, I seen 9' marijuana in the ditches
so I'd be surprised if some ditches didn't have blackberries too.
Blackberries thrive on less water than your marijuana.


I don't have too much experience growing marijuana, Jim, but I thought the problem would be winter temperatures (and lack of snow cover), not moisture. After all, I need to irrigate most of the plants I grow, at least to some extent.

But the bigger problem, I guess, is that I've never eaten a good blackberry. As I said, the ones I've bought were like little lemons. And considering that I'm rapidly running out of room to plant anything new, I haven't been inclined to make room for blackberries.

But I've certainly heard other people rave about them (and maybe they wouldn't be as bad as clove currants - heh, heh).

Thanks,

Bill
