**********
Oh, OK (sigh). Still planning on using the mulch for other benefits it
should have in our short growing season. I was successful in picking the
Black Krims early last year and they did ripen just fine off the vine. One
variety, principe borghese cherry, seemed to *grow* cracked. I won't try
them again this year.
Thanks for the suggestions!
