Mulberries!

All around the mulberry bush....
I picked 2.5# last night. And there's many more to go!
Wondering what style or yeast I should use this year.
Thinking Belgian....

...and 3# more equals 5.5#. gonna be a berry-y one.

Still 14 out of 26 rhizomes active.
Need to get some borders around them to keep the gardener from mowing them.

Here's a "map" of the yard. X means there's a plant growing.

It's the same as last year. So no surprises. The tallest one is the back corner Cascade at about 3 feet!
