We are grateful to the original builders of this house (1991) who planted a sweet cherry tree. The folks we bought the farm from never saw it bloom heavily but this spring it was truly covered by blooms. Hence, a wonderful harvest of cherries a few days ago. Mrs. Fuzzy (aka Cherry Monkey) climbed the tree to harvest them and Mr. Fuzzy plucked all branches within his reach. The bounty totaled six pounds; about four pounds went into a grand cherry cobbler...The apple and peach trees are loaded with fruits, too, enough to eat all we can and preserve the rest... and share with our friends. We've already shared them with the little worms...
Finally the lower garden is planted with Mrs. Fuzzy's seedlings and some seeds (Hopi corn, for instance). I am so deeply grateful to our neighbors down the road for loaning me a plow... and then bringing their tractor with a tiller attachment to break up those furrows into nice loose soil already formed into raised beds. Thanks you so much, John and George, for being so kind. Oh, and thanks for the kale from your garden!
