Strawberries

We're are not currently growing strawberries in our personal garden, but we definitely enjoy eating them!  We plan to add them to our growing plan for next year, but in the meantime we buy them from local growers. The CSA Farm we're members of also has a U-Pick option for hydroponic strawberries.

Here's a picture of a flat of locally grown Florida strawberries that Linda recently purchased.  For those who might know how many strawberries it takes to make a "flat"...it's 6 pints.

It's a lot for two people to eat in one or two days, but a few years ago we purchased a vacuum sealer which comes in handy for freezing strawberries. 

I sense an evening treat of vanilla ice cream topped with strawberries in the near future.
