    10/15/8: My blackberry patches are diseased and I expect little to no production for 2009. I plan to plant a new patch in the winter of 2008-2009 and hope for some production in May 2010.
    2/28/9: I have the new blackberry patch planted and am attempting to deal with dry conditions, both for labor and water.
    7/5/9: The new blackberry planting has failed and I expect no berries in 2010.
