I'm pretty sure the wife and baby ate just as many as we picked. Decided to whip up a batch of jam. First cans of the season: (5) 3/4 pints & (3) 1/4 pints.

I have a white mulberry in my pasture. The berries look just like red mulberries but are white. Some cross pollination happens so some a varying degrees of white fading to purple. The are sweeter and not quite as strong. From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Psalms 50:2

Definitely sweeter than the others. I'm thinking I may try to get some more start from that tree.

I've tried the prism tape and owl decoys and neither worked NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers
