This year we didn't visit the strawberry patch, but we did pick strawberries. We have strawberries in our backyard! When we bought the house last year there was a small plant that we got a few little berries off of. We didn't do anything to the plant over the winter and VOILA, we have a huge plant that has grown large, SWEET strawberries. We go pick them everyday now to get the new red ones. Our first picking was large and now we get a handful each day, and there are tons of green ones. Hopefully this means we will have berries for a few more weeks at least. They really are the sweetest berries I've tasted in a long time. Some of them taste like they have been dipped in sugar. Even Justin thought so!
