Mike, was it you or one of your dogs that actually found them...

Believe it or not, it was me! My little Hoover never paid them any mind... Go figure, something she actually COULD have eaten, but didn't.

I tried to get some started at the last house we had. Finicky little buggers to get going, I moved before they really had a chance. I've never actually had the pleasure of trying them, but they _sound_ really cool
Looking at the picture from Dan I'd swear those were cucumbers!

cucumbers never taste so good as a ripe paw paw, almost like bananasI tried to get some started at the last house we had. Finicky little buggers to get going, I moved before they really had a chance. I've never actually had the pleasure of trying them, but they _sound_ really cool

You guys are getting me interested. I am going to the nursery for some raspberry bushes so I think I will look into a few Paw Paw trees.

red or black raspberry

I prefer red but will probably mix them up for variety. I also plan on seeing what else good to eat is there.

Jim, you missed your Monty Python opportunity! Your answer should have been:
"Red...No! Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkk......... .."

I not sure about raspberries, but blackberries briars seems to do better if they are in partial shade and fertilize might help too

Funny! "paw paw" Cracked me up!

I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

Belinda (and Van), I can't believe that slipped right by me!I didn't see the pun... That is likely because Van has met my dogs, and whenever I've spoken to him, he (along with pretty much any person I speak with) has heard me say "LEAVE IT!" to my garbage disposal 6 year old puppy (she still thinks she's a puppy...). That dog constantly grazes on grass (no not a stomach ache...just likes to eat grass in the Spring), and will eat any kind of poop she can find. Yeah, remember that any of you that might swing by here when she gives you a big smooooooch!

Dang! That one went right past me! I guess my mind ain't tarp as a shack anymore.
Ray,
A co-worker is bringing me some blackberry brambles this week. I've never grown any so I guess research is in order. Thanks for the tip.

if I am not mistaken , they sell a version of blackberry that do not have any thorns , if you got enough land then why not plant a various of fruit berries,blackberry, raspberry, dewberry, gooseberry ,dewberry grow close to the ground
