We picked the last of our Rainier cherries from our old but small tree yesterday. 8 lbs. These were much better than the first pickings, but personally I much prefer bings.

Formerly local supermarket chain had cherries "on sale" for C$2.88/lb which isn't great.

However, the stuff being sold was from this outfit that grows/markets superjumbo cherries worldwide. Quite a deal as they're expensive otherwise.

Bought two bags of cherries from "Real Canadian Superstore" for $1.84/lbs. The two cherries I had weren't bad.... just need to wash them and do some more testing. :)

Cherries

Pricey luxury fruit is a big business in Japan, and Yamagata prefecture is out with a new variety, the Benio, that is the result of 20 years of research and breeding to make an optimal flesh-to-seed ratio. They're selling for 8,300 yen ($60) per kilogram at market but then over $80 for a small bucket at retail in Tokyo. Yamagata is responsible for producing 12,000 tons of cherries, roughly 75 percent of the annual harvest, and the premium cherries provide crucial income to the small farmers who make up the backbone of the business.

Some prices are clearly better than others.

While the case for 60 kr (~$9) was a deal, transporting it around without a car wasn't going to work well.

I tasted one and it was good but not good enough to spend that kind of money. 🥴🍒
Before somebody points out...I do know that those are not cherries in the photo. The cherries were in bags at the front of the display and that was a tall sign. 😃

Looks like Toyko Central. Which one?

Hawthorne & Sepulveda. I stock up on their gallons of Crystal Geyser water. Best price in town.

Well, looks like Southern California's about to get Hilary Sky Geyser. Stay dry!

p.s. Any pics of the those Timberline Marble cherries? Apparently the cherries only have a 10 day picking season.

No but they are very pretty. Dark red with a lighter strip on them.
Well I drink that water every day & stopped on my way home from Costco but yes I am bracing for a storm that has a chance of being over-hyped. How many times have we heard "storm of the century ". 🌪

No Timberline marbles, but what was available at the Harris Teeter Vienna VA:
