Two of them seem to be able to understand us and follow instructions well while the others I think were bred for their looks - everything baffles them and holding your arms out wide and walking toward them means "lets all go in different directions" or anywhere but forward. Sigh! They are good with compost turning though. Blackberries are such an invasive weed here it is hard to think about them as food - I've had some awful scratches from them too. Yes and I have apple envy too - so hard to get interesting varieties here.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467803584504473036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-84109714022174666752009-01-26T23:50:00.000+00:002009-01-26T23:50:00.000+00:00You have a Bramley!
