The selection of pictures you've shared is so *red*--beautiful. So bright--living jewels.
My brother-in-law lived for a while in France, and one thing I remember him telling me about was picking the abundance of cherries. Not that we don't have them here, but somehow I associate them with France, and your words and photos reinforce that.
I harvested some blackberries yesterday and put them into a blackberry crumble. Delicious.
The cherries that you picked that were hardening--is there anything you can do with them at that point? Can you still do the trick of putting them in the jar with the sugar, for instance?
I've eaten other wild things, but never milkweed pods. I imagine you have to do them when they're still very young, before the seeds and the silk starts becoming distinct?
