Here we go 'round the mulberry bush...

Bush?!?  Does anyone else think that's a severe understatement?  When hub and I bought our house, I wondered what kind of HUGE tree was in our backyard.  After some research, I thought I had my answer, but I had to wait until the following spring to be sure.  My regret is that I didn't harvest the mulberries that first year.  But I've wised up since then.  Mulberries are DE-LIC-IOUS!  Especially when eaten straight off the tree or mixed with strawberries for jam.
