Harvest Monday - July 18, 2011

Cherry trees are loaded with cherries this year!  They're sour cherries, but look really delicious.  We picked a container full yesterday.  I think I will juice them and what else?  Do you have a favorite recipe for sour cherries? 

This is also the week I pulled out my garlic.  Since this is my first year growing garlic, it was very exciting to the garlic bulbs as I pulled out the plants one by one, all twelve of them :)  Some were really large, most medium size.  I've to cure them for 2-3 weeks before I can use them.  Also, not pictured were  zucchini, beans and basil.  I used them right away and forgot to get their pictures.  All in all, it was a good week.  For other harvests check out Daphne's Dandelions.

    What I wouldn't give for a sour cherry pie. Cherry pie is one of our favorites. That's quite an impressive harvest. How long did it take you trees to bear fruit?

    nirmala - Thanks! We're making cherry juice and "cutted" beans :)

    Allison - Thanks! Since we made about 6 pints(4 left) of strawberry jam, not sure there'd demand for more jam :)
