| Today's harvest box. |
 |
| We have many kinds of berries. Some of them even have names! Dad was given experimental blackberries by his friends at Oregon State for trials. Dad may have known their "numbers" as all came to him by number in the trials. We have 2-3 plants of several different blackberries that occasionally are put in the boxes without labels. We know the names of 8 varieties. |
