This came as the free recipe in a come-on for a book called "The Cake Mix Doctor", but it's also the 1974 Pillsbury Bake-Off Grand Prize Winner (the Pillsbury page for it has it made in a larger pan and frosted, as well as nutritional info).
CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRY CAKE
1 package devil's food cake mix
1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure almond extract
Place rack in center of the oven and preheat to 350°. Lightly mist a 13- by 9-inch pan with vegetable oil spray; set aside.
Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low for 1 minute, then stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more. The batter should look thick and well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool.

Mostly I'm just looking for plant suggestions since I'm used to Colorado and its late May-late August growing season. (At 7500' we regularly got snow into May and it starts again in September.) When we first moved here I just about died when I saw lilacs blooming in March! I'd love to plant a lilac here, but I'm not sure Robert would agree to the cost since we're leaving later this year. It's never too late for some large pots, though! I dug up one of the gardening books Mom sent me and I'm waxing all pathetic over the perennials... but it's past my bedtime so I'll be going!
Bagel sandwich sounds good. It makes me homesick for Einstein Brothers' Bagels back home (Colorado) -- I used to eat lunch there all the time when I worked in downtown Denver.
I hate cherries and all things Black Forest Cake-y.
