Illinois Everbearing Mulberry

Illinois Everbearing Mulberry.

I was at Sky Nursery and they had these guys on sale for 50% off. So I bought one for me and another for my brother (who is also an avid Gardener and chicken guy).

Prior to this I've never tasted a mulberry. I was thinking it should taste like a blackberry, but boy was I surprised when it reminded me of melons and cherries. I lacks the acidity but has plenty of sugar. Man was it good! I want more.

Blake, my son, perfectly timed his drum hit while I snapped this photo.

I was snapping a photo of the fruit while holding my 21 month old son. He timed it perfectly and got his drum stick in the shot as I snapped this.
