Date: June 21, 2012 05:23PM Seems like they are late on the scene. I just bought my first cherries a couple of weeks ago and peaches yesterday (organic and delish). Is it my imagination or are they supposed to come in May in N. America? Also, the cherries should be a lot lower in price right now! Conventional grapes are also very expensive and not plentiful from CA. I am still seeing ones from Chile (which I don't buy). Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

Date: June 21, 2012 05:36PM I know that for Michigan cherries, warm weather followed by a freeze caused a lot of damage. Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

Date: June 21, 2012 06:03PM I didn't know MI grew cherries! It seems the ones I get come from WA state! I like the dark glossy ones. Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

Date: June 21, 2012 06:13PM Last year in the PNW, cherry season struck in mid-to-late July. Though some people at the farmer's market were talking about a late start this year.
Rainer cherries are my BFF. Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

Date: June 21, 2012 08:49PM We've had peaches for a month here in Virginia. Cherries have come and gone. Rainer are my favorite, also. I cut up peaches and put Coconut crystals on them for a few minutes, then pour them over raw cinnamon rolls with pieces of cheesecake cut up in it. In fact, I'm eating it now - filling and yummy Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

I just bought a bag of cherries going for $1.49/lb. So it's starting to get abundant, I guess. They're late but here (Strange--saw a pint of FIGS at my produce market for $5. Tempted to buy them but it's so expensive plus way too early in the season so I didn't trust it.) Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

Date: June 23, 2012 09:35PM Today for the first time I picked some peaches from a tree in my garden. Heavenly.
Had a couple of plums too, but they were rather tasteless. Apples, grapes and more to come. So fortunate to be renting a place that someone had obviously loved. Now I'll be enjoying "the fruits of their labors." My favorite raw vegan Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

No, they're more moist and very dense -- [tinyurl.com] A yummy way to eat cherries - dip them in a mixture of cashew butter, your favorite liquid sweetener, ground vanilla and cinnamon.

We had weird weather prematurely all over the American growing region, followed by a series of sharp late frosts, so stuff may be coming in later or not at all. So sad to hear about Michigan's cherry loss; my state doesn't need anymore tragedy, grrrrrrr! Do you have a crop guide for Illinois? In case the answer is "no": [www.agr.state.il.us] Re: Wassup w/cherries and peaches, dudes and dudettes?

Date: June 24, 2012 07:02PM We did have weird weather and the problem is that in addition to the early warmth, we have had very little rain lately. I believe that local corn began selling in stores in early spring...Usually it's in August! They said it was the best crop in 75 years and most likely a combo of early warmth and lots of rain in early spring.
