Douglas and Floppy being silly

Douglas and Floppy came with us to pick the cherries from our Rent a Cherry Tree tree. Probably picked about 10kg, not all of the highest quality. The weather hasn’t been kind to farmers and growers this year.

The cherries had to be picked in the next 9 days and we were advised that if we were only coming once come early in the week. Not as many as of the lush dark red cherries as last year.

Once back home it was all hands to sort and process. Over half are good enough to eat and so are in the fridge. Most of the rest are in the dehydrator for the winter months. Some have been cooked.

Will we do it again next year? We’ll see. We ask the same question each year and each year we subscribe again.

Douglas and Floppy weren’t too much of a problem and their photo has been sent across the Atlantic to Landon and Maddy in California.
