One of the joys of growing your own is being able to harvest at the peak of perfection and not be concerned with all of the designer chemicals that may come along for the ride. But you also have to be willing to drop what you are doing to harvest and eat, freeze, can, dry, etc. when the opportunity presents itself.
Yesterday was the first full plot pick of the strawberries. It looks like the partial bed restoration last summer was well worth the effort. Yields and size this spring are incredible; getting just under a half bushel. Looks like a long evening/night of freezing.
Well, you know, if you can't use them...Just kidding. They look great!
ReplyDeleteRaspberry season is just around the corner. Be sure to save a day to help us pick.
