Blackberries
#64
Wild blackberries are the best!! Unless they are near a highway where exhaust fumes are on them or unless someone has sprayed them in an effort to get rid of them (next to IMPOSSIBLE to do!!), eat to your heart's content (and send some to me)!

Since your question was whether they would be safe to eat and this is away from a highway? The answer is YES! Go for it! You'll love the results! A leather glove is a must and I use a step ladder (since the best ones are on top) and take my garden pruners with me. Enjoy!

Use bug repellent all over and put trash bags on your feet and legs to ward off the chiggers or you will be miserable for days. Also, when you get stuck on a thorn, don't pull back hard and fast, undo it gently and you won't tear your skin. The berries are worth the effort.
