Like you, strawberries are my favorite. Picked in the morning and eaten that same day-wonderful. I pick two quarts every day in season and eat at least half of them myself. I have them at least twice a day and some times again at bedtime. Having them fresh spoils you for the out of season ones at the market. Not crazy about them frozen and don’t eat much jam or jelly so friends, relatives and neighbors are the recipients of many of them. It would help if I wasn’t so fussy about others being in my strawberry patch, but I am, so I wind up picking most of them myself. This year may be difficult as I acquired A-Fib last fall and find myself short of breath. May have to break down and allow others in my patch. My daughter usually helps me pick as she picks to suit me and doesn’t tread on the berries. I’m really not fussy about the rest of my garden and have people help themselves-it’s just the strawberries that I can’t bear to see trampled on.
Fresh strawberries are the best!!
I had a great aunt, who lived in the city, and would thaw out (frozen) strawberries, upon my pending arrival (visit). She told me that I would someday turn in to a strawberry.
Well, that hasn’t happened, yet. But...I do love FRESH strawberries, about as much as you seem to :)
YOU are a treasure! Thank you for your posts....please do keep them coming.
