My first cherry harvest ever from mid May of this year!! It was just a handful, and I may have picked them a little early to beat the birds, but they were really tasty, sweet with a touch of acidity and very flavorful!
I think they ripened earlier than they usually would've, due to the small crop this year.
I'm excited to see what they produce next year!

Mulberries are quickly becoming one of my favorite fruits. Not only do these mulberries have a sweet and extremely pleasant flavor, but they are also easy to grow and are producing a great crop after just a little over two years after being planted.
They also have a huge harvest window. They started producing in late May and are still pumping out mulberries almost two months later and don't seem like they will stop anytime soon!

They turn form white, to red, to black when fully ripe
