Yamy BlackBerry .

What?

Who the hell is gonna pick up a green leaf off the floor and start munching on it like some Sunday afternoon snack

Reminded me of Brian from the book Hatchet.

Some people worry that the invasive plants will use too much water. Solution is build underground dams and the invasives will supply water vapour via evapotranspiration and cause rain.

Literally nature's way to sustain us. Adaptation isn't much in humans.

In my house, everything my father planted had a purpose, it could be to make tea, fruit or a salad.🌻

lol how do you thing plants migrate? gonna have berry bushes growing in the sewers.

Yes, you can make a very yummy blackberry & apple pie or crumble!

TOO MANY WEEDS? BEGOM NEW PRIMARY CONSUMER

As long as the plants or any fruits they are not poisonous, but its very good for our body system why not , perhaps can make our system body more ' have immunity' from the attacking dangerous disease ahhhem

we pick all the Ground Elder / Bishop's Weed ( Aegopodium podagraria ) and use it as an alternative to Parsley. We used to hate seeing it popping up as it's so invasive, but now we look forward to harvesting it!

Do you eat invasive plant species? I don't.

Can't eat stickyweed or Canadian thistle. Or rather, wouldn't want to. A real pain to pick.

Himalayan blackberries and spotted wing drosophila at the same time!

Except we poison them in Australia 😏

You've gottta pick a heck of a lot of blackberries for eating in the Seattle area to control that invasive plant

Blackberry picking is a common kids practice here in the UK 🇬🇧 I remember getting back after an afternoon with Tupperware tubs full & purple lips from all the ones I ate. Great in Apple & Blackberry Pie.

I don't see if there is invasion in nature. Mankind should refrain from hurting so called invasive plants.

We could input lots of food into the system if we processed those lemons and pecans vs letting them rot in our yards.
