We are loving our little strawberry patch. We are picking about 30 strawberries a day from our 20 square foot bed. Right now we are picking mostly Hood variety, but we are also getting some Seascapes and Tristars. The Hoods are June bearing, smaller and sweeter strawberries. The Seascapes and Tristars are bigger and will produce all Summer long. So, what are we doing with all of these strawberries? If they make it into the house, we are slicing them up and topping our granola, french toast, and puffed oven pancakes with them. I've also made strawberry shortcake and strawberry rhubarb muffins. I have plans to make strawberry lemonade and I want to try a strawberry salad too. Hope you're enjoying strawberry season as much as we are. If you don't have your own patch, check out pickyourown.org for a local farm to go pick your own.
