Notes: I was out walking my Corgis when I saw that the mulberry trees were in bloom. These plants are treated like weeds in Iowa. The birds love them, but most people don't realize that they produce delicious fruits. The just get angry at the purple-stained sidewalks. Farm families will collect and preserve these fruit, if they can beat the birds to them, but if you want to eat the fresh fruit you're going to need your own tree. These fruits are a favorite of my wife, because she's named after them.
