The peach tree on the backside of the parking area at MK's has fruit forming! You know my mantra: The only thing better than cheap is free. Last summer I picked bags and bags of peaches from this tree and Cree ate so many that he made himself sick. I look forward to doing the same this year as well with a similar outcome.Down the alley there's a Damson plum tree and I picked those last summer too. Then, along the river there's an endless stand of Mulberry trees. Bela and I stood under them last summer eating berries until our mouths were stained purple.
I am relentless in my foraging! It's how I found the clutch of lemon balm growing under some mutant jumble of a once shrub-like growth. It's also how I discovered some lovage growing wild, which I initially thought was some sort of wild celery because of how it smelled and its deeply ribbed stalks, but no.
If civilization collapses we'll at least eat, and probably have really crappy homemade wine to wash it all down with.
