Anticipation

Our strawberries, planted in unimproved, thin soil at the edge of our beds or competing with larger perennials, have never done well. Still, we get a handful each day for some weeks -- enough to add to my morning smootie. Later this summer, I plan to build a proper strawberry bed elsewhere in the yard. Meanwhile, we'll supplement by visiting the U-pick Brookside Berry Farm in Dryden.
