Purpled people – eaters!
A good turn out on another sunny Saturday. In the din of the mulching machine the last of the tree cuttings were mulched. More composting, seedlings planted, the lemon tree pruned and feed, lots and lots of mulberries picked, and kids large and small with purpled lips and hands and feet! As people came and went there were lots of smiles and happy-getting-to-know yous! Tim disappeared for a while but was discovered high in the Mulberry tree – was he harvesting, or grazing? I would guess there were a few Mulberry pies cooked in Tighes Hill that night. I found and used a recipe that had the usual ingredients plus half a cup of port and some orange rind- yum! The tree keeps on giving with some more fruit ripening each day. Drop by and pick a few if you like – just remember to use the Union St entrance via the back of the Church if visiting during business hours.
