22 gallons of strawberries picked thus far, unfortunately because of the continued state of too wet many have rotted even before getting ripe. I will be spending the day helping my kids move. Maybe the ground will have a chance to dry out and I can play in the dirt tomorrow instead of mud.

22 gallons of strawberries...

Gallons??? How many plants do you have? I'm in Virginia and getting about a pint a day for the last week. I don't remember whether I started with 25 plants or 50, but some have died and some have spread. This is the third year and I read somewhere that I'm supposed to tear them all out and start over with new plants, but I don't have the heart to. I've got one of those three-level pyramid gardens.
