This year we were able to a lot of strawberries out of our bed. I think this I the third year so we were able to get a nice crop.
Last year we had trouble with the birds but with the net we didn't have them eating our berries so it was nice to see them doing well. A few days before Thomas was done with school we picked a nice batch. It was the first of the season so they were pretty eager.
We have wanted to make jam in the past but never really go enough to make a batch. But this year we were able to get a lot and our freezer has a nice amount of strawberry jam.
The boys were able to pick out the best ones they wanted and headed to the porch to enjoy their homegrown snack. It didn't take them long to inhale the sweet berries and were soon finding the way back to the strawberry bed :)
