We harvested the cherries today. This years crop was not as large as last years, but the cherries sure are good!
These are Lapin Cherries. Many people are surprised that you can grow cherries in New Hampshire, but there are several varieties you can grow here. So far the Lapin has been our best producer.
The cherries are bright deep ruby red,and they have the most wonderful flavor! Sweet and full of juice! Mmmmmmm!
A few weeks ago we wrestled with a net to keep the birds from stealing our cherries. Some of you might remember last year when we netted the tree because the birds threatened our crop. Once again this year we netted the tree, but for a shorter time. Still, wrestling with that net again made me laugh. You see, it is worth every struggle and tug to get it over the top and then wrap the net around the tree. These cherries are really that good.
We’ll eat some and share some and enjoy our first crop of the season. I wonder what our next crop will be? Cucumbers? Squash? Zucchini? We just love growing things.
Mmmm those do look wonderful!
My mouth waters when I see this plate ! This year cherries are so expensive here that I didn’t buy any ! Can you immagine 7 € (!!)that’s a little more than 7 $ per kg !! Fortunately I could eat a lot when I was in Turkey.
Those look amazing!! That must be so wonderful to grow your own cherries…
They look so rich and red! YUMMO:x)
Owww!

Wow those look amazingly delicious! Enjoy!
