Some Spring Garden Photos


It was a good year for strawberries this year. There was lots of rain at the start of the season and plenty of sun just before harvest. Our new beds are a little sparse this year, as we couldn't find new plants. All the garden centres were selling single bedding plants, and we couldn't find the packaged root stock liek we used to buy. Maybe next spring, we will have to buy plants.

We had to go to a You Pick and we picked about 20 pounds. We froze them whole, and we just thaw and blend them when we want to use them. They are great over pancakes.
