> These are the little red, marble-sized cherries. Not hybredized. Just a little tart even when dead ripe. If you like sweet cherries, I recommend the Bing cherries. Years ago, we were touring the Finger Lakes region of New York and ran upon a roadside stand selling several varieties of cherries and plums. We bought a bunch of them and ate them all the way to Hershey, Pa. I still wonder how many trees sprouted along that highway from the seeds we tossed.

HA HA! Well, I'm going to have to pay a visit to our farmer's market when it gets back running after the tornado damage. You just gave me a big craving for cherries. I hope they'll have some, they usually have pretty much anything. Last week some guy who came over to help my dad with the septic line, he brought us a HUGE bowl FULL of frest picked strawberries. The funny part was that mom was at the market at the time and she bought 3 cases of strawberries for my brother's birthday cake. She couldn't believe it. G'day!
