All our seeds and pits go into the rockery, etc., where they are appreciated by birds, squirrels and other animals as well as the soil.

Cherries are always eaten before we can get around to using them in recipes. They are imported from warmer provinces and the States, thus not cheap. Our area is too cold to raise any except 'Nanking cherries' which are too small and tart for anything beyond jams and jellies (The plant is from Siberia and north China, much used here as hedging or as shrubs).
