Strawberry Fields

We are getting a bountiful harvest of strawberries this year. During the past 10 years, we have relocated the strawberry patch four times. We have battled deer, birds, grasshoppers, tons of weeds, and poor soil conditions. They have been in their present location for 3 years and finally we are getting LOTs of succulent fruit. The deer are fenced out and Cindy has been able to grab the berries BEFORE the birds get to them. I’m not sure if the large number of berries is due to finally getting the plants established in the right place or the late spring rain. I’m simply delighted to enjoy a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie every morning.

Oh, and I’m grateful to my diligent strawberry picker, Cindy.
