Speaking of blackberries, I have a lot of wild blackberries, but they are all 
infected with yellow rust, as are the weedy blackberries growing in all my 
neighbor's yards.  Does anyone have experience growing (domestic) 
blackberries that are resistant to this?  My raspberries do just fine, so I 
think the conditions are otherwise good.
