    Well the first reasonable-sized harvest is in. It's going to be a meagre harvest this year due to feezing of many of the flower buds on last years' plants and the new first years' plants. :(
    Oh well, less jam, but more fresh ones to eat...that will be fine too. :D
    I can't bring myself to blush for some reason.

    Here are a couple of pics of just how decadent we really are around strawberry time.

    Now you're just trying to make us all jealous by showing us those lucious strawberries. :( Shame on you Sjoerd as mine won't be ready for a while yet!! I want to reach into those tubs and taste one or two (maybe more because once I've started I tend not to stop until they've all gone) but I keep stubbing my fingers on the screen. :'(

    No strawberry pictures from me yet Sjoerd. I'm afraid mine are still in flower. Soon.
