Wonderful winter weather and a very early spring is having a positive effect on the strawberry patch. We have had a few red berry's this past week but in a matter of days the whole patch will be red. Never have I seen the number of berries on each plant and rarely have there been the weather to take advantage of this harvest.
Last year Theresa and I had difficulty in getting even a small number as the competition from the chip monks and blackbirds was impressive. This year there will be enough for them and ourselves.We hope that the local U Pick farms are as fortunate as we and experience a bountiful crop.
Nature is balanced and because of the sudden frost causing the apple crop to be injured probably the other crops will help bring balance to the overall picture. In any case Theresa and I will enjoy one of natures favourite treats..Strawberries.
