  2. Oh we used to have a sassafras tree growing in our school yard and we would chip off pieces of the big tree's roots and take them back to class and chew on them all day. Better than gum! You can buy the sassafras juice condensed at the store to make tea, iced tea with. I used to keep it until I found out that it can be cancer causing supposedly…bummed. But I'd love to have some good licorice or some sassafras. I love that flavor! I'm so old it wouldn't make a difference now. I really love your hat~

  3. Would you consider selling some of your blackberries that you've freeze dried? At a price poorer old people could afford? Most things in your merch store are way out of my budget. I'd really love to have some mulberries and pecans too. Mmm~

  4. As a kid we had Sassafras, birch beer and and still of course get root beer and sometimes birch beer soda. We would break off small birch beer branch’s to chew on. Mom also made rootbeer. That was the longest month. That was when you could get pop bottles and an antique capper. Then lay them out in the yard for a month till they were ready to drink.

  5. Blackberry is one of my favorite fruits. Here in the Northwest corner of Oregon, we have a few different varieties that grow wild. All three grow on the edge of pastures behind my house. Pacific blackberry is the only native blackberry here. It is smaller, with a wonderful complex flavor. The spines are hooked and small. I wear leather work gloves with the ends of the fingers cut off to pick them. They will be ripe here in a few weeks. They have the best flavor, but picking them is a lot of effort and spine removal. Next, the Himilayan blackberries will ripen. These are the blackberries we always made jam out of. They are invasive and will smother abandon they can grow as large as the end joint of my thumb. The spines are huge and the canes grow very fast. The third kind is evergreen or cutleaf blackberry, another invasive species, but less common than the Himilayas. They are sweet, kind of a one-note flavor, they ripen last, but I don't pick them often. I have been getting ready for blackberry season by maintaining trails to the best honey holes out back. Seeing you pick and eat your blackberries on your farm makes me have even more anticipation for berry season here. FYI, you can trellis raspberries. That's what raspberry farmers do here in the Pacific Northwest.

  6. When I was a little girl back in the 1950s if we were outside on the farm and mom saw a sassafras tree, she would take a twig and make us a Sassafras, toothbrush and it worked ❀just fine it left a fantastic taste in your mouth thanks for the memories of mama.

  7. Sassafras root is used to make root beer and sasparilla. Leaves can be ground to powder and used for filè gumbo powder for seasoning for Creole recipes like gumbo. The leaves are also used for tea to help settle the stomach and for just drinking for the flavor.
    I have used a 4 hardness, pretty much a standard bolt that fits the hole for the sheer pin, have used them for many years on our post hole auger and the brush mower.

  8. Good morning. I've noticed how much Holly has been sleeping. Are you sure her health is good? It's just that I'm so use to her taking every step you take. Don't mean to question your abilities but .

  9. You all make the work go so smoothly. And Holly you and Lambchop are a pair. Your berries look yummy. Years ago when our kids were young we went to Washington state and the raspberries and blackberries were very large sweet. Brought back memories. πŸπŸ‚πŸˆπŸ«πŸ„πŸ–πŸ€—πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸŒΈ

  10. That post hole pounder is great, you two are getting to be fence experts now! Can’t believe how huge those black berries are, unbelievable. Have a great rest of the weekend. ❀❀

  11. On the egg cooler, seems like you could overlap the ends of the freezer packs and put the rack over it? Maybe put a piece of hardiboard or something across the wire rack to go end-to-end?

  12. I have a thornless blackberry bush and it's finally bushed out and has some growing on it. Can't wait to try them. My raspberries are doing great here in NC. It's not as humid here as where you are, though. My daughter freeze dries her dogs food and they love it that way.

  13. I absolutely love blackberries and I have tried for several years to grow them. Between the wind an the super low humidity they just die. I have decided that each year when they hit the stores I buy a bunch and freeze them for the winter. Nothing better than blackberries and ice-cream in the winter. or a good blackberry cobbler.
