Three Strawberries
A Bumper Crop
Outside the house it is super hot at the moment. As long as we keep watering them, the strawberries are thriving, though they are only ripening a few at a time.
Berry Fork
Inside the house, Hattie demonstrates the correct use of the berry fork, starting with the smallest of the three entire strawberries we picked today!

Despite there being three strawberries, they’re an artistic’s delight-so very, very pretty. You’ve captured that beauty in your photos.
Thank you – we think strawberries are very photogenic, and Hattie so happy with the harvest, I expect this delight to last all summer if we can keep them watered!
There is probably more flavour in those 3 strawberries than there is in an entire carton of supermarket berries….
You might just be right – they certainly were delicious!!!
The Bonsai Hittys are SO JEALOUS! If only they could go outside and find perfect strawberries! We have none in our yard, so must get them at the grocery store!
We were given these plants by our neighbour…Agathe and Opal were wild to tend them but we shooed them away!
such sophistication….strawberry fork? The country Hittys feel quite gauche and rural. “Who knew?” they are
asking themselves!! I believe that you have ever bearing strawberries. They set berries all summer but only a
few at a time. My Mennonite gardening expert told me for a big harvest all at once I was to plant June Bearing.
and then she took a good long look at me and said “you do intend to make jam don’t you?” Since I am totally
intimidated by her I of course nodded meekly. I love your photos!! Hope you get some rain soon.
Oh font of strawberry wisdom – thank you for the encouraging words…Hattie is perfectly content with the few coming at a time. It would mean an immense amount of work to put them up if they all came at once…as we are anticipating for the rasp and blue berries coming next week!
