An article in the newspaper about mayhaws got me remembering how fortunate we were to have access to so many wild fruits, not only mayhaws and the queen of jelly it supplied, but blackberries from spring to fall, two kinds of plums, and muscadine grapes.
We had a wild cherry tree but the fruit was too sour to eat, except for birds who would eat the cherries, get drunk, and fall to the ground.
Cultivated fruits began to ripen in June and July -- first figs and then watermelons and cantaloupes.
Life wasn't without its good things when i was a kid on the farm.
