Do you like cherries?

Cherry season has begun here. It is a fruit that I love, when I moved into my house I planted a cherry tree in the garden, but it did not grow much and has very few cherries. Mine are not yet ripe, but the tree should only have 10 cherries. I have to keep an eye on them otherwise the birds eat them, as soon as they are red I have to pick them. My aunt knows that I like cherries a lot and as she has several cherry trees, every year I go there to pick some for us. This morning I picked up a bucket full of them. I bring some to eat as an afternoon snack and they will be the dessert today

Do you like cherries? Do you have it in your country? Picture of the bucket full of cherries.

I love cherries. I hope I can buy some when they are in season. They are very expensive but I usually buy some at least once.

@nela13 I remember that a farmer used to let me and my best friend pick cherries and other crops for us helping him on the farm. We canned cherries and made cherry jam for our families.

I really like cherries. I start buying them when they appear in the grocery store and keep buying more until they're gone from the stores again.

@nela13 They're expensive here, too. But I like them enough that I'll pay the price for them. You're very lucky your aunt gives them to you.

@allknowing you don't need to import it from other countries, that is good.

My state has large cherry orchards in its northeastern section. Cherry season is almost here. I love fresh cherries. They cost a lot these days but I plan to buy some anyway.

@nela13 Fresh produce is crazy expensive over here. I just paid 8 dollars for 18 ounces of blueberries. I don't know how families can afford to feed their kids.

There's lots of cherry trees but not near me. I haven't seen any fresh cherries at the grocery store.

Cherries are quite good to control gout but they also have many other health benefits.

Dark cherries are very sweet, I love it too but right now we don't have those yet, maybe by the end of the month.

I do like cherries in black forest cakes. I don't know if we have cherries here in the Philippines but I am pretty sure that we don't have it. I read in an article before that most cherries in can are bleach because it will make it as bright red as possible. What do you think?

When we lived in Donnybrook, you could buy cherries off roadside stalls around Christmas time. They were always yummy too.

Regrettably, our province has been experiencing intense sleet in recent days, resulting in damage to the delicate cherry trees. Farmers are understandably displeased with this harsh interference by nature, as it has dealt a significant blow to their crops.
