😎 It's nice to have blackberries growing wild in my yard, but blackberry picking can be dangerous. The hundreds of tiny thorns hook on to your skin and can make you a bloody mess. 🧤But now I have my new protective sleeves making berry picking much easier. Tried them out today. Worked great! Can't wait to put them on my yogurt. 🐝 While I was out picking, I saw a thistle, tall as me, with a bright purple flower, being visited by a bumblebee. #HabitatGardening #Gardening #NativePlants #BlackberryPicking #Blackberries
