I have harvested a lot of Cherries today. The lighter Evans Cherry contrasts with a darker Montmorency Cherry.

Picking Sour Cherries
Red Fruit Trees
Immature Mulberries on this tree have painted over the tree in a red color. Soon the Mulberry tree will be loaded with ripe fruit and the animals will help spread its seed.
North Star Cherry Bird Attraction
The North Star Pie Cherry has been pumping out the cherries this summer. Robins and other birds have been helping themselves eating these sour cherries.
Variegated Tomato Plant
Tomato plants all look pretty much the same until they have fruit. Except I am growing one variety of tomato that has attractive variegation in the leaves. The tomatoes taste good, too.
Baltimore Oriole
When I am picking cherries, a Baltimore Oriole comes around making noise at me. She has a nest of babies in the nearby Bella di Giugno Pear tree.
Evans Cherry Laden with Fruit
The Evans Cherry is becoming larger every year, thus it is producing more cherries. Soon it may start producing more cherries than I can use, though the birds compete for the fruit, too.
White Nanking Cherry
Awhile ago I germinated some Nanking Cherry seed I bought from Lawyer Nursery and planted a lot of the seedlings out. All of the fruit is red, except to my delighted surprise, one of the plants bear white cherries.
Developing Kiwi Fruit
This is the first year that I saw one of my kiwis flowering and developing fruit. These fruits are fuzzless and are considered hardy kiwis.
Strawberry Harvest
Dunlap and Surecrop Strawberries have been productive this June. The main harvest window is only a couple weeks.
