The Strawberry Patch





We had so much fun! The strawberries are grown off the ground in pots, without any pesticides, so you can eat them right off the vine! Because of the shallow root system, you have to cut them from their stems with scissors; Rebecca did a great job with that! We "picked" 2 pounds of strawberries and I had grand plans of making a shortcake. However, Rebecca ate probably one pound in the car on the way home, and then we all ate the rest that night for dessert! They were wonderfully sweet, red all the way through. No splenda needed! Isn't God's creation a fantastic delight? We will be back to the strawberry patch several more times before the end of the summer!
