Fresh picked cherries, is there really anything better in the world??? Well maybe not, there are a lot of things that are great fresh, like all fruits, and home grown food.For me the best thing in the world was always strawberry and raspberry season, I loved fresh picked, and then eaten raspberries, bugs and all who cared, the taste was great.
I've planted 3 strawberries bushes, but they wont yield much this year. We also have blackberries everywhere as it grows wildly, and blackcurrants, 4 bushes that will probably be ready in a month or two, but rest assured that the deers, and dogs won't leave anything! Come to think of it, there is 2 rasperry bushes, I forgot about them as my son ate them all last year haha.
You are right, who cares about the bugs, it's protein anyway!
