Lilo is all in his glory :-)-----the strawberries and cherries are ripe!! This week we should be able to harvest some. Liam has been beating the chickens to the punch in the strawberry patch haha! He gets up straight away in the morning to 'check for chickens' and KICK them out of the strawberries!! Right now, the strawberries are pretty small due to the final frost, but they'll continue to berry into the fall.
Those darn birds are already picking the cherries so I'm gonna pick some pink ones and let them ripen on the deck. I think the winds took alot of the flowers so we probably won't get too many.... maybey a gallon or so.
Pretty soon we'll hafta make a mad dash to the mulberry trees..... they usually ripen right in the middle of cherry picking. If you don't get them quick, they'll fall off. Usually we get 1-2 inch long berries from most of our trees. I have a GREAT mulberry jam recipe that I'll post during season.
Love the strawberry photos!
