Our Mulberry tree is loaded right now in south central Florida. We get fruit all Summer into the Fall. Trimming the tips, even the slightest, helps them bloom and produce again and again.

[@susanbergling8781]

I'm in Kansas & grew up here where Mulberries grow like weeds. They are the first fruit we get but later than you, usually around Memorial Day here is when they are ready to pick. They are also 'One & Done!", one harvest & then they stop when it gets terribly hot. We have to be quick about picking them so the birds dont get them all. I remember my Grandma hating the mulberries. Mostly cuz the birds would poop purple all over her clean laundry on the clothesline. Lol

I'm pretty sure where I grew up, there was a tater hilling law. Daddy had us hilling taters when we got old enough to use a hoe without knocking ourselves in the the head with the hoe handle.

[@richm5889]

I was originally taught just to keep covering all the greenery. And it did keep pushing up greenery through the soil and it grew potatoes. But it didn't make any sense to me to lose all the energy of photosynthesis so I rejected that idea. I don't know where all these gardening ideas come from. But my only purpose in hilling them up is to keep the potatoes from getting green from sunlight.

[@tamararoberts9307]

Here in south-central Indiana I only hill a few inches once after a few months after planting because I've learned if i do it more than that our humidity causes blight and mildew

I plant my determinate varieties about six inches deep. I then mulch my 30ft row with grass clippings about six inches. I refresh the grass mulch as needed. That seems to work for me. I get on average 5 to 6 pounds for every 1 pound of seed potatoe. I am in zone 5.

[@martinandrews8496]

So I'm doin an experiment with my potatoes this year. So first verity I got caribe, sirpo mira, and that something rose potato. The one he said was most popular. Well I did the green sprouting the best I could and with let's say 80% of them I planted normal. Dug a furrow, layed some organic pre plant fert , planted the potatoes and covered em up. Now for the remaining 20% of each veroety I'm trying the cardboard box method. Open up both ends of box. Add about 4" of native dirt, I added some of that same fert then planted the potato and put leaves on top. And I will hill with leaves untill the box is full. Idk how well it will work but I've had issues with my diet that I hilled with getting pretty compact and not ideal for potatoes. I'm in a new spot this year I cleared out a place in the woods and the dirt is beautiful so this will be a good way to see if hilling with leaves is equivalent to hilling with dirt. It's apparently an option for people who don't have much dirt I guess. Bc they said u can use other stuff also. Worm castings , compost, I think he even said sand. I don't remember. But I guess the leaves will be decompose and be fertilizing the potatoes idk if it's gonna decompthat fast honestly I'll update as I go.

[@vmcshannon]

I’ve always just planted them deep (6-8 inches) and then just piled up mulch around the plants as they grew. I tried in containers a couple years. Which had me adding soil as they grew. But they never produced as well as the mulched ones.

I'm bad about planting everything too thick and close together since I always want to grow more veggies than I have space for. My potatoes are always too close together for hilling. However this year I actually planted them 3' apart and have hilled them once already. I'm super stoked to see if it helps with production. At least I shouldn't have any green ones this year lol.

In zone 6, I have three fig trees. One is unprotected and only creates a bush with no figs. One is on the south side of a brick wall and produces large amounts of figs, however only 10% ripen before it frosts, last plant is in largest container I can wheel into the garage for winter...unfortunately, it's become root bound and makes miniature figs now. Trying a mini greenhouse over the one near the brick wall this year. Travis, I love figs, but they've become the Holy Grail for me.

[@Frankie_902]

I love in South MS, and I have a Mulberry tree that I took a 'baby' off one of the mother trees root system that was exposed. It only had a teeny tiny hair-like root barely sticking out from the stem of it. I just knew it was going to die, but it more than survived. It is now a 17 year old humongous tree that, in the first 5 years, produced twice a year. First in spring and again in early fall. It would seem to produce for months on end, but then it would rest for a couple months before putting on Mulberries again for the fall. It did not produce as much as it did in the spring. Fall produce was like short blooming period and whatever Mulberries appeared was all there was. Now days it only produces once a year, early spring and it does keep putting on Mulberries for about a month or so solid. I do not know the variety because the person I got it from didn't know either. Early on the Mulberries would be long, I'd guess and say 2 inches but that might be over guessing, I just know they were long and sweet. Today they are more like the size you showed from your tree.

Sorry I forgot that part. Plant the fig tree in as big a pot as you can find, but one that you can still move indoors for the winter.

How you are growing yours in the bed is exactly how our family has grown them in the ground. In Oklahoma we get lots of rain in spring and by June 1st it’s 90+. Trenching and hilling will produce more than just planting deep and no hilling. Good explanation of how they produce on the stem.

The mulberries fruiting once or all year is cultivar dependent. The majority of mulberries will only fruit once but there are a couple bred to fruit all summer. I planted one in the backyard that is named 'Everbearing' and although too young to flower is supposed to produce all year. Thanks for the fig tips.

[@kirstmlarson1]

We have a few mulberry trees and at least two varieties (one turns purple/black, the other stays white/pink). The trees ripen throughout the month of June. I’m in central Ohio, so June is the first consistently warm month. I’m sure June in OH is similar to early spring in the Deep South.

[@colinkirk1240]

My understanding is that you plant just below the surface and hill up the soil. This means the soil warms up faster due to the larger surface area and therefore the potatoes grow faster, less greening of tubers and easier to harvest. If you plant deep on the flat the soil takes longer to warm up. So it all depends on your local weather in your country.

[@gardeningsimplified]

One important reason to hill potatoes is to prevent surface potatoes from pushing through and turning green. I think most of the indeterminate varieties are russets.

[@LazyDogFarm]

That's right. Green potatoes are no good.

[@ritalr15]

The variety I have at the house produces at least twice a year here in TX close to the coast. The Mulberry trees love to be next to my garden for all the extra nutrients, and those were really tasty. I have to cut mine down cuz they are growing in the fence.

[@TheRainHarvester]

[@ritalr15]

As for figs I don't have them. My mom had one or many years before it died. Don't know the variety

[@gidget8717]

Its the variety of mulberry. I grew up in Virginia in the late 1950s & 60s all the trees grew large and had one flush of berries. Down here in Florida I see a lot of smaller trees and they produce several times a year. First flush is the largest but they do come fruit again. I wonder if the one and done are an old variety and the everbearing are newer varieties. The red mulberry tree grows large and long lived and are native to the east coast.

For us there is a 3rd reason we might not get any mulberries... cedar waxwings... but I think we are winning the mulberry lottery this year! The waxwings aren't yet here, and the berries are ready to pick tomorrow or the day after... so it's looking like it's ladder time! Which is a dicey for me... at 60+ I have to be pretty careful, the wife will no longer allow me to climb up the big tree, so I can only get what I can get from a ladder. I have started pruning all my smaller trees every year, nothing that I can't reach from a 12 foot ladder. But either way, it's one and done here as well. Never seen a tree that produces over a longer time... but that means nothing. All the trees I have knowledge of, came from one tree, that a buddy of mine has, and years ago he gave a bunch of us all a couple of limbs... so all the trees in my extended family of friends, are all daughters of one tree.

A row of ankle high taters is just begging to be hilled in my opinion. I don't shy away from covering the entire vine with dirt though. I have to. They were breaking ground last week when we had lows in the upper twenties. I covered them with a couple inches of soil. It's again dropping down to the upper twenties over the weekend. I again will pull some dirt over them. After danger of frost is pretty much over, I form the hills and make them uniform. My ridges/hills are flat across the top and about a foot wide.. The base of the hill is about two feet wide. If it weren't for frost, I wouldn't cover my vines totally. I haven't noticed any loss in yields by covering them but I haven't performed a side by side trial.
