The sweet, red juices drip down your fingers after that first savory bite. Another bite comes as you relish in the sweetness of the fruit. Each piece better than the last one, sending you to a new flavor filled experience. Fresh strawberries are wonderful right off the vine. Today we found out just how wonderful and sweet they really are. The kids and I went to a “you pick” strawberry patch, were we got almost four pounds of fresh strawberries, home grown. I truly believe that fruits and vegetables are the best when they are home grown, the taste is just so much better than what you can get at the grocery store. That’s why I always like to go to the farmers market or my own garden to supplement our groceries. Today as we munched on fresh picked strawberries right off the vine, (after we paid of course) I was reminded of just how true that is. I can hardly wait until our garden is really going and we have fresh veggies every night. But for today I we get to relish the taste of strawberries.
Oh yea here is some of my spinach, direct from the plant to my table. I used this home grown spinach in my Asian Noodle Salad from PW today, yummy!

Oh I can't wait. I planted 75 strawberry plants this year on top of my 25 from lasst year. I sure hope I get more than three tiny berries.
The hard thing with planting strawberries is that it usually takes more like two years to get a good crop. But they are worth the wait.
You were actually able to get them in the picking box before Bear and Isabelle ate them?? Amazing!
Must say, I am jealous of the fresh berries and spinach!

Oh, I am so jealous. I hope we find a roadside strawberry stand while we are in CA.
If not, In N Out will just have to do. He he.
Makes me hungry! I'm impressed with your garden spinac.
