We won’t get any apples this year because of the harsh Spring, but with good luck and a net we might get some cherries.

What a difference altitude makes!

looks wonderful
Yes. 🙂
And so does attitude!
I nearly said the same earlier today. But then decided to bite my tongue – or rather stifle all that comes naturally to me. Soon I’ll be a former shadow of myself.

Agreed! I thought of that too as I was writing it.
beautiful!!! I love cherries!
and yours look healthy at least. fingers crossed!
Yes, as usual, fingers crossed. We’ve had good luck up there with cherries. As long as we protect them from the birds and critters.
A life without apples is, obviously, unthinkable. Nothing that money won’t be able to rectify. Not that I don’t acknowledge Andy’s disappointment at his own efforts. The gardener’s lot is an exercise in patience, hope and – to varying degrees – that of joy and misery. Yes, the forces of nature. Man’s lost frontiere.
Here (in the UK, don’t know about mainland Europe this summer) cherries have become (or rather always have been) a luxury. Sad since, for me, they are (apart from apples) jewels in the crown of fruit.
Still, my dear Jean, you’d be the first to say that in absence of anything we should make do with lemons. And, in absence of lemons, maybe – just this once – you’ll agree that at such diversity being sour is permissible.

Amendment: Please do replace “diversity” with “adversity” – what with life occasionally being an empty bowl of cherries.

No lack of adversity up there, even without the fire. We’ve have plenty of chances to deal with it. 🙂
Glad you could pick them before the birds got them!
We always put a net up, but this is the first year Kaitlin and Torben have had a harvest. Tempi takes full credit for it.
As a child my parents bought a house with gardens and trees but cherries were the only things we succeeded in harvesting. I can still “see” Mom and Grandma making cherry jelly in jars sealed with melted paraffin.
We too have better luck with our cherries than with other fruits. Where were you living?
