My Father and I were going to cleaning out the weeds. When we looked behind the shed and found Wild Berries! Years ago I thought I saw some Blackberry vines. However I never saw them again. In 2008 We had some Disease Trees removed. The Berries must have taking off after that.

If you look close you can see the fully ripened blackberries
