Cherries. LOTS Of Cherries

Well, compared to previous years.

So we finally got around to finish picking our 4 trees/bushes pretty clean.

We have a North Star, two Nanking, and one odd hybrid of a sour and wild cherry.

All of them wonderfully edible, and really nothing like what you buy in the store from the west coast.

So we ended up with about 8 gallons of them, which is a good thing because the strawberry patch was pretty much completely neglected and ended up weeded over with no production.  These will end up just rinsed and frozen for now.  We will deal with them when we deal with the rest of the fruits later in the year at jelly making time.  Two years ago we got maybe a half gallon and we ate them as fast as we harvested them.  Last year we had a late freeze and got pretty close to nothing.  This year, well, even once you subtract the pits, it is a lot of fruit to put up.
