Ah, De ... tonight, roll over and jump your blushing bride's bones. In the morning, if she asks, "What got into you, last night?!" ... jest blame it on the berries.

And, then ... every few days or so, make a BIG show of gathering and eating those berries.

Berries

My field is overrun with thorny bushes laden with red berries - hundreds and hundreds of plants. The older ones are tree-like, maybe 10 or 12 feet high. The fruit is clearly popular with the locals - who've been dining at night and crapping all over my driveway. I suspect bear, but the scat is small. Maybe small bear???

I did a little research and think that they're a plant you won't often find in garden nurseries: SILVER BUFFALOBERRY. After reading that they're not toxic, curiosity got the best of me and I had to give them a try. And . . . they're great! Initially bitter, but with sour and sweet juice. I intended to eat just half of one, but now I've had a dozen. In fact, I brought back an entire branch in case my blushing bride wanted to partake, but she demurred. Perhaps tomorrow - if I don't get violently ill or become Mr. Hyde during the night...

I've been cutting the plants down with shears and have probably taken down a hundred, but now I don't want them completely gone. Just CONTROLLED. They sort of remind me of Sweet Tart candies, but with a little juice...
