How are your strawberries doing?
Anyone picking strawberries yet? What variety do you grow?
My Earliglow's have berries the size of a fingertip. It'll be a few weeks yet before they ripen up. My second variety (old family variety) is about a week behind. Blossom set was excellent this year. Last year I was able to freeze quite a few. I mash them up with a tiny bit of sugar and put them in plastic freezer tubs in the freezer. I think strawberries freeze better than just about any other fruit.
