Drywall really makes that place look amazing!

Clearly you guys don't know Western Washington blackberries. We're not talking a patch here. It's more like they took over the universe with inch thick canes, half inch long thorns, big ropy tangled arches of vines that can reach 8 to 10 feet tall even without trees to climb. It's like a Windows 95 pipe factory screensaver but it wants your blood and you're trapped in it. It can reach 6 to 8 feet deep in a matter of months. It took me hours to clear a 150ft long driveway of them last August (?) and it had been clear that March.

There is no such thing as a nice little patch of blackberries in Washington. There is a world of blackberries, and small patches of freedom that must be constantly defended with the blood of patriots. They're like your nice little blackberry patch but feral and on a meth bender.
