First Strawberries
Our strawberries have been coming in for the past few days–big red and delicious. John and I have stood in the garden eating the early arrivals, one by one. Since we’ve had a late spring, the strawberries will go into full production just as Mike, Tami, and the four kiddos arrive–which will be in about an hour now.
Some of the berries pictured below came from our CSA, Hope’s Edge, this morning. Some are ours. All are gorgeous. None taste like what you find in a supermarket which have been shipped in here from across the country. Supermarket berries are big and red, but there the comparison ends. They are pulpy sour things that are so acid they make your mouth pucker. These berries are dead sweet and worth the wait each year!
Too, none of our berries have been sprayed with poisons.
