The wild blackberry is forming new leaves. It is not everybody’s best friend due to its invasive character, but we learned to love it. We have a part of the garden full of wild blackberry and it has so many upsides! We make delicious jam of the fruits and in this season we collect the young leaves, ferment them, and make a herbal tea.

Next to this, it serves as a natural fence to keep the dears off our land, it provides shelter and food for all kinds of animals and the roots of the brambles help to prevent soil erosion on the slope. It is a bit of work to control them but it is worthwhile.

One of my favorite moments in the garden is seeing the chickens try to destroy it.

All credit to a lone hellebore orientalis plant doing its best #inmygardentoday to give us a show on a cold January day
Hooray for hellebores!
