I think those are just called wild blackberries, but someone please correct me if I am wrong. And I am pretty sure you can eat them, because we had them growing all over a field near our house when we were little, and we all would eat them... A LOT of them, so if they were poisonous we would have figured that out pretty quickly...

The trandescantia (widow's tears) is a pretty tough plant. Good luck trying to yank those out, LOL... when i first moved here i tried to get rid of some... they merely mocked me. I have long since given up since I decided I like the way they open in the morning and close up at dusk.

We also had these things we consider weeds but they were this tall stalk with indigo berries that were poisonous - thankfully we knew not to try those. But we would mash up the berries in water and "dye" our pants and shirts... that was a day everyone got spanked with the wooden spoon, LOL

Dont know about the blackberrys there are a lot of diffenent kinds. Hope you like them they are hard to kill......

Thanks Sun City Linda. LOL the blackberries I think I could pick about 2 gal now and they are still ripping up more berries. I like blackberry cobbler (made with a more pasty dough stripes instead of what i call biscuits) and make a smoothie with adding some milk and ice cream.

The trandescantia is trying to take over the back yard.
When we where little we would stop when visiting relatives and friends when they where growing and pick them- Mom made them into cobbler's.

LOL I guess you didn't forget that spoon.
LOL things we did when we where kids. I remember we used to chew on this grass that was bitter sweet.

Well the honeysuckle(s) and blackberries seem to be fighting over who gets most of the fence to climb on.

For the picture of the post n° 12 I think at a Philadelphus Coronarius (= Seringat)

And for the post n° 13
Lonicera periclymenum and Nandina domestiqua
if I do not make mistakes, of course
