Growers in Tarn and Garonne are expecting a bumper crop of cherries this year and the first harvest has begun this week. Apparently they traditionally supply the French Open tennis at Roland Garros in a week or two. In addition to being copious, the cherries are said to be sweeter than last year.
Those readers with "cerisiers" in their gardens may have noticed that their fruits are progressing well, but maturing according to the variety, some being later than others.
