Strawberry picking season!

It’s almost June!  We survived graduation of our third child last weekend and I’m still trying to figure out if it is an ending or a beginning.  Transitions are such a challenge but I am pretty sure what is around the corner is AWESOME!!

After sharing tons of strawberry plants a few weeks ago I am happy to say that the remaining plants are rewarding us despite the neglect that we gave them last fall.  My plants are loaded and we are happily going out to pick each day!

Our family eats a lot of berries in a year.  Smoothies, yogurt with berries, berries with brownies and whip cream, strawberry shortcake, sugar free strawberry jam.  And that doesn’t count the plain ones eaten as a snack or for breakfast.

Mainly we eat TONS of strawberries but we love blueberries and raspberries as well.  So last year our big spring garden project was building square foot garden strawberry beds
