Cherries and hydrangeas are starting to look real good. Real good. Blue!
The garden is exploding! Lots of cherry blossoms; fingers crossed for a good year! Tulips. Hyacinth., Welcome, spring!
What a sad day. The cherry tree we planted 9 years ago has died. We think it got hit by a truck and had an open wound, then got sick from that. Dead
Another cool shot of the tree. Those cherries are coming down!
With this video, Greg talks about the sour cherry harvest. About 20 quarts were harvested!
Our tree in the front yielded 20 quarts — 20 quarts! — of sour cherries. With only two days to put them up into sour cherry preserves, we had to work quickly. We picked and pitted on Saturday night and […]
Though we’ve been growing sour cherries for a bunch of years, we’ve never had a big enough yield to make an entire pie of all our own cherries. Well folks, this is the year. Not only do we have enough […]
We’re trying something new at the farm here, folks. Thanks to a suggestion by Trae Feind (who finally paid the farm a visit but it went undocumented!), we ordered a sun sail to block the rays to the patio during […]
Our Sour Cherry and our Pear, in view from the new patio. A vision in white.
The back tree, the little dwarf Northstar, produced quite a bit this year. And early, too. A few more pics, after the jump.
The cherries came early this year. We probably could have picked some of them the first of June, even! Here’s a look on the 6th: And here’s a little sour cherry, too!
Thanks to a warm spring, we’re about a week ahead on the crops this year. And the Pink Jasmine, which SCF fans may remember from such posts as “Welcome to the Farm, Lingonberries and Currants,” has never looked better. And […]
I pruned one of our sour cherry trees and had enough branches to make this arrangement in our foyer, and to give similar arrangements to neighbors. Now let’s hope we get some cherries, too!
Looking good this year!
This nor’easter hit the farm hard. At least two feet, maybe more in some drifts. Even the roof had a big pile. The cleanup, after the jump.
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
