There's a massive blackberry bush in my backyard and I just picked ~6 pounds of blackberries and there's plenty left.
Anyone got any ideas about what to do with a bunch of blackberries?

Plant even more of them!
lmao never, they spread like crazy
The cute animals are begging you for more blackberries!
You must heed their calls!
The animals, they yearn for monoculture
but I shall not give it to them, instead I'll plant a bunch of different stuff. Or I won't really plant anything, the wilderness in the backyard is pretty self-sustaining at this point. It's got it all really
The cute animals will surely be disappointed by the finite quantity of monocultured blackberries... but otherwise it sounds like a lovely yard!
As far as using your harvest: I would probably try making preserves, freezing them, and dehydrating them (individually or processed as fruit jerky) to prolong the shelf-life. Then I'd make some pies with the remaining fresh ones. After that I'd probably pawn the extras off on the local community, and/or feed them to the birds.
Also, root guards usually work well if you're worried about them spreading more.
