Not to mention the birds with purple poop. Mulberries here have a very short season, one of my favorites as well.

Hi, about Mulberries... They are a really interesting fruit. I like them all, and of the albas I do like the dark ones best. Illinois Everbearing and Downing are super tasty fruits for sure, whereas the white colored ones are more of a flat sweetness. The long Pakistani types are good as well. But then you try an M. Nigra, and holy smokes what a complex flavor! It's like a yellow peach versus a white one. That little hint of acidity adds another dimension. I was an english major but the taste is beyond anything I could describe. Like trying to sum up a great barbecue sauce with a short sentence. Black Persian is very nice, I also recommend one I tried called "Kaester" as well.

Hmm I guess no Blenheims in my near future. I'd love to visit Andy's Orchard in San Jose. They are famous for their varieties and their prices. Would you pay $4 for a single peach if it's the best you've ever had? I'd totally pay a buck for each black Madeira.

Tuscon Ken:  If you want to try a weeping mulberry, I can get you some cuttings.   I think you start them just like fig cuttings.  This is a tree on a sidewalk and it's rather small weeping form of mulberry tree about 6 feet tall and is loaded with black sweet mulberry fruit.  Tastes and lock like sweet blackberries. 

Forrest: Yes, Keitt mangoes are the best.  Big, sweet, and not stringy.  I just found them last year in the Asian market and unfortunately, went back and none were left for a whole year.  Now, they're back.  

Figfinatic, that would be great--maybe I can get a cutting when I deliver your air layer.

Forrest - I work in Issaquah so I know where you were at. Isn't the PNW beautiful? It may be cooler but it makes up for it in a lot of ways. I love west Seattle for the scenery. We almost bought a house there - still kinda bummed it fell through. The scenery is just something else. 

This weekend the blue angels are flying over my house. We have a decent view from our back yard so we can avoid the crowds. We miss the hydroplane races though.

I don't see how anyone can leave ;)
(I'm used to the rain though)

What a question to ask and a hard one to answer. I have never run into fresh fruit that I didn't like. Like Martin, figs and mulberries are on the top of my list. The rest of the list is too long to put here.

What ever is in season and ripe off the tree/bush is the best....sometimes it's a cherry, peach or fig or many other things!

And mulberries are inside out figs.
