Strawberries and Spring

Spring is here at last!! Hallelujah!

The first order of business this spring was to uncover the strawberries...which we were finally able to do on a beautiful Saturday afternoon before the rain came in again. As always, this was a family affair. Since last fall was wet, and we were busy moving...we didn't get as much done in the berry patch last fall as we had hoped. But better late than never. Nick ran the tiller while Mel and I pulled the straw off. Nancy came by later and attempted to stomp down the straw between the rows, with limited success.

The strawberries came through the winter well. Unfortunately, so did the weeds! It's ok. We don't have much else going on anyway so we have plenty of time to weed out the berries!
