Do not pick orange or light-red berries, as they are not ripe yet. May. FIGS are still several weeks away in Atascosa County. Let me know about other locations. I picked my first crop on June 10th on my own property, but my mustangs ripen at least two weeks earlier than any others I know of. Grapes on the earlier ripening vines are already going to raisin, so pick what you need now.
Crops seem average in size and yield.
Remember, the plant you harvest from this year will yeild almost no berries next year, so when runners establish new plants the parent plant can be dug up and thrown on the compost pile after their crop is harvested. I ate some this afternoon. While not as sweet as in some years, they nonetheless make a decent wine if balanced accordingly. Two quarts make a very decent wine. Two quarts of petals are required for a gallon of wine, but the wine is well worth the effort.
