I've had it since the start of 2009 and only had one year when it gave a decent crop of cherries so I think I've done the right thing getting it in the ground. I hope it's happier there.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-2228024310339126882015-07-15T08:45:12.069+00:002015-07-15T08:45:12.069+00:00They really are, MalarThey really are, MalarSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-18087791133197650492015-07-15T08:43:08.874+00:002015-07-15T08:43:08.874+00:00Our desserts tend to de naked fruit, DinaOur desserts tend to de naked fruit, DinaSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-77615844996036002352015-07-15T08:40:56.902+00:002015-07-15T08:40:56.902+00:00I only but sweet peas that have fragrance Nadezda,...I only but sweet peas that have fragrance Nadezda, A sweet pea without perfume isn't really a sweet pea is it?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-38666584339064942752015-07-15T08:37:56.650+00:002015-07-15T08:37:56.650+00:00We do love our fruit JannekeWe do love our fruit JannekeSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-592394869821283602015-07-15T08:36:24.445+00:002015-07-15T08:36:24.445+00:00You'll have to nip out and pick them before yo...You'll have to nip out and pick them before your mates notice, DaphneSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-33158665201830859162015-07-15T08:31:58.133+00:002015-07-15T08:31:58.133+00:00Whatever you have will be delicious Mark.Whatever you have will be delicious Mark.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-26846887679157418822015-07-15T08:30:22.750+00:002015-07-15T08:30:22.750+00:00What did you grow Rick?

Which means no more eating them in the garden. So sad. I'll have to wait for my fall raspberries for that. Though now that I think about it, the alpine strawberries are still out there. I often let my townhouse mates pick and eat them as I have so many other things, but as I'm in a lull maybe I'll pick those now.
