I'...I'm soooo sorry about the tart cherries. I've bought dried sour cherries on the web for years: I like them better than other dried fruit. This year I made some cherry compote using fresh local (boring) cherries and a generous portion of sour cherries. Things here are terribly dry and I've pretty much given up on my tomatoes. The only thing that thrives in my yard are herbs.Weeping Sorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617503185773155102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026160.post-66285323866401264242012-08-13T09:16:12.229-07:002012-08-13T09:16:12.229-07:00I was thinking the same thing: "Oh well, if i...I was thinking the same thing: "Oh well, if it's going to warm up at least I can grow a wider variety!"<br />Not so much. <br />I did get a fair amount of tart cherries this year, but the 40+ days of 90+ degree weather here in MN is not doing my tomatoes any favors. Pair that with tropical rainforest-like conditions for several weeks where the slugs ate pretty much everything, and this is not turning out to be such a good year after all. Even some of my well-established perennials are struggling. <br />I'd personally like to go back in time about 12-15 years when spring and summer were the way they're supposed to be.
