Strawberries Galore

June 3, 2008

I am in the middle of my first harvest right now. My strawberry patch is producing lots and lots of strawberries. last night christina & I picked 25 pounds of strawberries. Yeah 25 lbs. i didn’t believe it either till i saw my whole kitchen table filled with strawberries. I originally thought i was only going to produce 15 to 20 lbs out of our patch. I totally miscalculated so far we have picked around 37 lbs. WOW you say. yes our patch is around 30 feet by 50 feet. its a good size and its just over run with strawberries. we have a crazy amount its taking up our fridge completely. i am selling them as fast as i can but i still can’t sell fast enough. I am selling them for 3 bucks a pint (pints a pound the world around) good way to remember how big a pint is. i know in a couple of days I’m going to have at least another 20lbs. to pick too. I personally don’t really care for Strawberries. But i do love me a smoothie so i have been having some smoothies with fresh strawberries in it. good stuff.
