Lots of activity on the farm this weekend but I don't have lots of time to write about it. Thought I'd post a quick strawberry update. With the exception of one plant in one of the beds the plants in all three beds are doing well.
Here's one with a blossom on it. Most of the plants are starting to put on buds. We're supposed to pick these off the first year to encourage the plant to focus on establishing a strong root system, but it's going to be hard not to let some of the blossoms go and hopefully turn into strawberries.
It's strawberry season here in Central NC. Mr. O is a strawberry fiend. We picked up a basket full at the farmer's market this weekend and he has been plowing through them. We found one berry in our basket with a particularly large nose.
