The weather here is finally starting to heat up and that means my pregnant mass of a self is suffering a little bit more but more importantly that our cherry tree is putting on a sexy show for us.
When we bought the place last summer and discovered we were blessed and cursed with 2 apple, an apricot and a cherry tree we asked around the neighborhood to see what kind of state the fruit trees were in. A close neighbor with a cherry said theirs was completely infested with worms, to the point of being inedible and that we'd have to spray heavily if we wanted to use them. We're huge fans of spraying poison in our backyard on a regular basis so we thought we'd take the wait and see approach. The tree blossomed beautifully and the cherries are big, red, and shinny. Not a worm in sight. The robins are enjoying dessert on the really ripe ones but believe me, there are plenty to go around. So here is a pic of my first attempt at a home grown, lattice cherry pie. Eat your heart out Martha Stewart!
