Strawberry Fields...

I decided to stop waiting for my 2 small strawberry plants to produce, the slugs were getting most of the berries anyway :(

People picking their own berries in the fields...

So I took a trip to a local pick-your-own Strawberry Field… this one is Pine Tree Orchards Strawberry Field, North of White Bear in Minnesota.

It wasn't hard work, but I wouldn't want to do it all day… my knees got a bit damp (it had rained the night before)… it was a beautiful cool breezy day, and conversation with fellow-pickers nearby was friendly… We were taken out & back on a trailer pulled behind a tractor, we were assigned specific rows within a specific field…

This was my haul, 8+ pounds of fresh super-yummy & sweet Strawberries!!

One thing I did with my Strawberries was come up with a Low Sugar Strawberry Freezer Jam… check out the link to get my recipe…
