(Ray in the orchard checking on the cherries)
I've really got to hand it to my father-in-law.... he's so knowledgable about plants and trees. He has really expanded his orchard for the sake of finding out what varieties will grow and thrive in this climate. He diligently documents his findings and can rattle off any information you may or may not want to know about any of the trees.
Me, well I am slowly starting to learn the names of some of them. I sort of graze through the orchard in the evenings, tasting the different cherries as I make my way through the rows. I think the art of tasting cherries must be a little like wine tasting in that you have to develop the ability to taste all the different notes. In the meantime, I will just keep tasting.... emerging from the orchard each evening with a little more knowledge and a full belly! And now I'm left wondering what to do with all these cherries?
