Ok I'll shrink them - they came out of my camera this size and i forgot to
look at the size before uploading.
Plate.. sorry it was not the right english word for my wooden containers.
It had to look it up and found paring(?) or pod.

That's right, in German the same word, "Kornelkirsche". No cherry relative.
They are a little sour and spoil easily.
A fruit recommended by "Hildegard" as healthy.
Also a very nice garden plant, flowering very early in march.
In gardening I also try a "close to nature" and local-variety approach.
Plants are more robust and healthy and for me - nicer.

The pictures are from the last October days.
I'm at 500meters above sea level and a good deal more north than NYC.
These days temperature is approaching freeze point at night
(While sunny and worm due to worm south winds often at daytime).
