Yes, we have cherries! Yeah! I get so excited about these tart cherries. They’re pretty and so yummy!

Well, asparagus harvesting is now just a memory. Today I got out early before the heat and weeded about a third of the asparagus patch. Won’t be long and the whole patch will be a mass of ferns. I just love that look. However, right now, it’s just a little bare and not really much [...]
