Maybe you could freeze them or make jelly? Blackberries are such a wonderful fruit. Perhaps you could hire children to pick them (kids big enough to avoid hurting themselves but young enough to think it's a treat to work for a modest payment--are there such children these days?)

Gut-wise, the blackberries are better for you than the bacon (says a fan of BLTs in season, with home-grown tomatoes).

Headache is receeding--I'm headed out to plant my chard (found pots for decorative use at Home Depot, but I'm going to eat it), plant bulbs, and plant a mum for the fall doorway pot.
