mulberries getting ripe here

grandson just walked in with purple lips and teeth

Gonna be awhile here yet, but I'll be in the same boat when they do ripen! I never outgrew eating mulberries off the tree.

They rarely make it to ripe here..

Had one right by our house growing up. Not sure where theres one around me now. Used to put them on ice cream when i didnt eat them all before getting in the house.

God never invented a more insipid lousy no-account fruit. At least the birds like 'em.

I used to have a giant mulberry tree in my backyard. Got tired of purple bird crap all over everything in the spring. Cut it down and burned it for firewood. It burns well and puts off incredible heat... Throws a lot of sparks though.

I have 17 and love them all. 14 the birds eat the others we eat

wife and baby picked 5# yesterday. Should have had a lot more, but the rain and 30mph winds knocked most of them to the ground. Still have enough for a batch of jam.

Birds eat mine before their ripe most of the time

Beautiful people in the picture. I'm not cracked over mulberries. LOL.

Did the Monkey catch the Weasel?

We're going to.the farm today so were.gonna check em.and see what we got going on with ours. I hope they're ripe. The black raspberries are starting to ripen

If my grandma was still around she might well change your mind bud. Her mulberry preserves were a good fit for toast or biscuits and almost (almost) as good as her raspberry stuff.

Neither would last until they were ripe the next year no matter how much she put up!

Pindrake your berry pickin crew photograph very well it appears you are a fortunate one

they are a nuicance tree. one step better than buckthorn. I cut and treat everyone I find. Yes the birds love the berries. They crap out the seeds all over God's creaation starting new trees.

The best I can say is mulberry makes nice wood. When you cut it its green but as it oxidizes it turns a deep dark chocolate brown, nicer than walnut I think.

Great photo

son was just out picking and all i heard was mmm mmm mmm

pm marlon...writing now

Wishing you the best Steve, not matter what the doctors say I fall back on the thought that it is better than the alternative.


Oh, and Sal sounds like me picking berries. I come back with my teeth the same color as my fingers.
