I want a strawberry patch like yours. All I have is two little containers that produce about 10 strawberries every year. I planted a raspberry patch last year, but I won’t get a lot of raspberries until next year. All in due time . . . all in due time.

Yummy! I want to grow strawberries eventually, right now I’m working on blueberries and raspberries.

Thanks for the strawberry lesson, and for the great idea to pack a basket full of berries, call a few friends and sit a spell.

Oh I love strawberries! My Aunt has a strawberry farm that we go to every year. It is amazing! I am hoping to plant strawberries at our new home. :)

LOOK at your strawberry patch !!! And those gorgeous H & D strawberries! I’ve never ordered from them, but Cheryl has said such wonderful things about their fruit. I might have to give them a try!

LOVE your pictures, too! I want to live in your neighborhood!!!

I’ve had various boxes from Harry and David’s in the past and they are consistantly wonderful so I can imagine how good the strawberries are.

We don’t grow strawberries but the produce markets are full of them right now and a fairly decent price. This year they seem particularly good too, I plan on eating as many as I can while the locally grown crop is on offer.

The impromptu picnic snack looks delicious.

Strawberry season…I can’t wait! Here is Wisconsin we won’t have strawberries until the end of June. I can’t imagine having my own patch outside of my door. A little bit of heaven.
