Not only did we go strawberry picking and get 13 lbs. at a nearby farm, our own plants have been producing well. We have had about 6 pints in the last 5 days. So I froze lots of the the berries we went to pick, made a bit of strawberry sauce, good for ice cream, and a fresh strawberry pie. We also had shortcake and strawberries added to everything imaginable. I made freezer jam with some of the ones from our patch and plan to make some strawberry popsicles tomorrow.
Maria was helpful for about the first 20 minutes or so of picking, and then it was more fun to find clods of dirt and break them apart, kick dirt around with her shoe and of course EAT the berries. Hmmm, good thing they don't weigh you prior to picking and after to charge you for consumption during picking.
