What's Up With the Strawberries??

5/17/2009 7:41pm by Paula Harman

Some of you may have noticed that some days we have strawberries and some days, we don't.  What's up??

Here lies the answer.  This past September, we planted a new, early variety of strawberry, in addition to our tried and true variety.  Since we were not familiar with the taste or performance of this new type, we didn't plant a large number of rows of them. 

They have performed very nicely, and they have a wonderful flavor, too.  The only problem is that we don't have enough to pick every day.  With the large number of our regular variety, we alternate the blocks that we pick in order to allow a day of ripening.  With the early variety, we pick them all, then allow them a day's rest for ripening.  Allowing them to ripen to their fullest makes all the difference in the flavor.

The good news is that the regular variety is getting ripe and I foresee that very soon, we will be picking every day.

Thank you for your patience and look for the "Harman's Sweet Strawberry" sign when you drive by!
