Thread: What's in your garden?

^ good luck. In the UK berry fruit, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, currents etc are easy to grow and i miss them in the tropics. The strawberries you can buy are awful. One thing that was a revelation to me are Mulberries, very easy to grow and crop well and if you pick them just shy of ripe they also have a bite of sharpness which is nice when compared to the unremittingly sweet fruit that is nearly all you get in Thailand.

I have 12 or so Mulberry trees. I really like them as a replacement for berries I grew up eating in California. As for Strawberries, I have to say the ones that come out of CM are very good and have a great taste and smell. Great over a nice bowl of Swensons Vanilla ice cream.
