Jamison U-Pick Cherries

First the bad news:  We recorded a solid half inch of rain overnight that wetted the fruit thoroughly.  There will be some splitting.  The wind has helped dry things out this morning, but more rain is possible over the next few days.  

Now the good news:  Only a small fraction of the cherries are ripe enough right now to be really vulnerable to splitting.  Also, as the fruit gains color it is becoming clear that there is a larger crop than we had expected.  If the rain leaves us alone we should still have lots of cherries.  Best estimate of start date is still sometime between June 20th and 25th.  Stay tuned.
