Ummm... Strawberries

This big boy was very delicious.

I love strawberries. I love Oregon strawberries.

I love warm, from the sun, Oregon strawberries.

My tummy is full of strawberries.

My days of unemployment are coming to an end. Our produce market will be opening up in the next ten days and I will be crazy busy for the next two months. A good crazy busy.

A treasure from the greenhouse.

Mr. Farmer has an obsession with strawberries and growing them in the greenhouse. Never mind that we have a two acre field outside our door. He wants fruit earlier! So, we have three- 5 gallon buckets with strawberry plants and a handful of ripe fruit. I picked these today for a snack. I did share a couple with Mr. Farmer and one of our employees. And the rest... well, I ate them and they were very good. Like a taste of summer.

Tomorrow, we will be planting peppers, cukes and flowers in our hoop house. And the tomatoes we planted weeks ago are starting to bloom. I am glad we put in the hoop house. It is pleasant to work under cover and out of the rain. I even used the space to paint a  plant trellis. Hey, it was warm and dry inside.
