As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
With HAARP chems and freezes killing everything, the fruit crops in the Brier were kaput. The strawberry plants it literally killed. In most years, we mark our years in what normal horrid weather in the Brier will produce. We have not had a plum year here since I was a kid. Late killing frosts kill fruit flowers.
This year we have had mulberries. They don’t appear that often. Last time I made jelly and the mother was still a shadow on the world so it has been awhile. Can’t say the jelly is that great but mulberries when ripe are very good and they make great pies, but you have to eat the little green stems too as they do not come out.
My Gram Lyd made a pie. Only thing she ever made which was any good. That woman was the worst damn cook on the planet. Be different if she was like the mother in doing a half assed job, but old Lyd actually did try to cook and she failed all the time.
I can’t remember if I told you of the saga of the mulberry here. I was at my evil godfathers place as they needed someone to babysit her shit head nephew. So I got to be company. Fucking people were just shit and I only got a thought if when they had a wild hair ass idea about having some damned kid stay with them and I got to do the hard part.
So it was June and I was doing what I normally did, seeing things and trying to eat them. Gave the old broomstick aunt conniptions as she was worried I was going to die. That was the first time I tried Juneberries and as they were a bit bland, I moved onto mulberries. Had no idea what those black raspberry things were, but they were not killing me and so word spread.
Pretty soon the Lyd appeared and in sign language she informed us they were mulberries. So we got shoved up the tree and had to pick those things. Hence the mulberry pie we got to eat.
I have no idea where that tree came from. Maybe out of an old company named Gurneys as they had allot of shit they tried to pedal. So I went home and was roaming around our trees and I spotted mulberries growing. I was delighted. See this place is a homestead place from before time. There was some old broad along the settlements who had all kinds of shit she was planting that actually somehow grew here. As I have observed lately, most stuff the birds ate and shit out. That is how all these new mulberries have appeared. God had one appear in the garden. I hit it a few years with the tiller but accident and then by design, and last year kind of lost track of it, and now it is a 15 foot tree with mulberries on it. I have surrendered in the garden is moving in a new direction as that part was kind of chit anyway in clay drying out.
Our mulberries are not nice like the ones you see a foot long in pictures. Just little tykes. Robins and King Birds love them though and I always know when they are ripe in you see spots of bird shit dark blue all over the place.
They really are a wonderful wildlife bush for birds.
I was over at Beloved Uncles, obviously before he died. Was helping put on a cultivator I think. So I’m fighting mosquitoes and burdock forest plants and I look around and see mulberries. I tell the old guy he had mulberries. He was unaware and never said much. Week later he was an expert and was acting like he had discovered America. Was a trait of my family which is annoying and endearing.
Considering how bad the weather is pooched now, a mulberry might be something most of you would benefit from. They leaf and blossom out late. Are pretty trees and birds love them. They seem to be immune to disease too. The good trees though are Zone 5. This is probably Zone 3, but it is growing and not dead so who am I to complain.
Does make me wonder though in the Peacharium if I might try a Zone 5 mulberry and get them big rascal berries as why should I not have them and Jesus comes back it will be Med climate and I will have mulberries galore. I suspect Jesus would like mulberries and help me pick some so we could have a pie.
Next mulberry year might be when Jesus is back as they are not too often.
