Strawberry picking today

[Marthe48]

As I browsed through the rows of starwberry plants, choosing the ones I wanted, I realized that people are a lot like the berries. They are all getting ripe the longer they stay on the plant. Some are sweet, some are bitter, some are prime examples of good a strawberry and some are rotten.

Almost every encounter with Nature opens the door to musing, and who knows what insight we'll discover.

1. WOW! Getting to be that time!

Daughter's birthday end of June, so I plan to look for best berries then!

2. So many things came in early this year in this area

The mock orange and widow's wort in the yard used to bloom in June. The strawberry patches opened the beginning of May, adding at least 2 weeks to the the growing season.

I just had a dish of berries, thinking about what to do with the rest of them. You have a treat waiting for you!

3. Can't wait for the local berries. Grocery store ones are Yuck. Hard and tasteless.

How are those southern Ohio tomatoes coming along??

4. They will probably be early too

I love Marietta tomatoes, but can't eat them like I used to. Miss toasted tomato sandwiches!
