Sounds like your blackberries got muscled out by something else. I don't know about everyone else, but we had a mild winter and wet spring as well here in NEPA and we had a *VERY* short dandilion season, I put my packages in just as they were starting to sprout and have absolutly no yellow comb or honey from it! The dandilions were up and gone TWICE within 3 weeks. I thought that was pretty fast for them. Anyone else noticing oddities like that? ****************************************************************************** Dave D.
