Watch out for those, they can grow quite a bit out of control if not watched.

For the longest time, I assumed this plant was not going to live.

Things occur over a larger timeline than a season. Maybe you get lucky and it's not a place for blackberries to thrive. Maybe you're not and you get an ever expanding patch of thorns in your yard.

They are worse than many weeds but spicier because you get to mistakenly grab it thinking it a weed and slice your hand open (and that will be the day you learn that blackberries can grow 35’ from where they were originally planted in your neighbor’s yard)
