    Isn’t blackberry a noxious weed? In just a couple of months I have pulled out dozens of small ones trying to establish in my garden.
    I’m inspired by your list- have been watching with interest.

      I think some types are, but I’m only growing cane berries in containers for that reason. They are so spiky that I don’t want to let them get out of control!

      Hi Maggie, I have a diagram of the layout of the block at https://500m2.wordpress.com/our-block/ but I haven’t specifically outlined what is in each bed because it changes so frequently. I’ll think about how I can communicate it better.
