Our cherries are ripe! We ended up getting over three quarts from our sweet cherry tree and the birds picked the rest. I can’t wait to see what our harvest will be next year.
I harvested about 2 cups worth of sour pie cherries. If the chickens hadn’t discovered their love affair with green cherries this spring I would have a whole lot more. Stupid chickens! Stupid birds for not tasting astringency!
I pitted my measly batch of pie cherries anyway as I had a new recipe I wanted to try from The Kitchen Gardener’s Handbook
Yum!!
Hey you twos, we’re in Oregon, heading to Bend next for a couple of days. Want to meet up somewhere? Leave a comment on the trip blog or send an e-mail to henbogle gmail.

We had a great time during your visit. I just wish you two didn’t live 3000 miles away!
the picture of the cherries on the trees looks so real that it appears fake…and while it is not a burger those tarts look delicious.
Maybe a tart filled with hamburger, lettuce, tomato, onions and some mustard and onions would be good? hehe
How is the drywalling going by the way?
I can assure you that they were real cherries. And then we ate them. 🙂
We have been making slow but steady progress on the drywall (at least until recently). We are waiting until a whole room is complete before we write about it more.
Oh, I love cherries!! Glad you were able to beat the birds to a few of them.
I was kind of surprised we got any. My experience growing up in Indiana was that the birds often ate all the cherries, especially when the crop was small.
