Oh, how I would love it if you could reach through your computer and help me pick strawberries! We have thousand and thousands ready for picking. I picked for a short while and before I knew it had 12 quarts filled...and never made a dent in the patch. I still have some of last year's strawberry jam left, so I will need to find another way to use them this year.

After what seems like weeks and weeks of weeding,the strawberry patch make-over is almost complete. Just a bit of mulching to be done today...and then I can sit back and wait for the berries. Hubbs was determined to make my strawberry patch as low...

I have come to the conclusion that having a large garden is much like raising a child.It takes an inordinate amount of supervision...and if you turn your back for just a little,it goes completely out of control! That is exactly what has happenedin...

Today is September 5th and I just took this picture this evening. We have one row of ever-bearing strawberry plants in our garden...and they are true to their name! We have had berries of one type or another ripe to pick for the last 3 months non-stop....

Here it is, ready for the pantry....pint sized jars of fresh Bee Haven Acres Strawberry Jam. Yummy! More and more berries are ready for picking each day. These berries have been a bit tart this year, which makes the best jam!...

April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Strawberries in June!! We have had a rather moist Spring this year which made for excellent growth of our strawberry patch. Now the plants are loaded with ripening berries and the hot weather...

It's Strawberry Picking Time!
Oh, how I would love it if you could reach through your computer and help me pick strawberries! We have thousand and thousands ready for picking. I picked for a short while and before I knew it had 12 quarts filled...and never made a dent in the patch. I still have some of last year's strawberry jam left, so I will need to find another way to use them this year.
Some of our patch was planted in everbearing strawberry plants...so we will continue to have some berries ripening until Fall. Yum.....there is no strawberry better than a home-grown one! Please...help youself....there's plenty!
PS: Our chickens love a strawberry treat and get all the berries that are just a little too ripe to last in the refrig.
