Cherry Picking


You know how they use the term 'cherry picking' when you are doing
something easy - like competing against those less experienced - just
to win a trophy. Well, I am here to tell you, cherry picking is hard
work! We took about 5 kilos from our cherry tree - and lost probably
as much again due to mold (very wet year this year in Italy). Oh
well... this should be enough for some cherry pies...

Next up, apricots, peaches, pears, apples, figs, grapes, kiwi... anyone fancy lending a hand, just drop me a note!

Kiwi?! Seriously? It sounds like you may have to get serious about this farmhouse life and start canning! :-)

Hi Justin!
Heather is already researching the whole jamming/canning thing. Unfortunately this year the harvest may be down because our apricot trees are sick, but the kiwi look a little too damn healthy!
