What happened to the strawberries???

What happened to the strawberries??  They were here one day and gone the next.  The answer lies in the weather.  We had a beautiful crop of berries and were picking large quantities everyday to sell in the market.  They were sweet and had good size and shape.  We were delighted. 

But, then the rain came, and came and came.  And when it wasn't raining, the mornings were very dewey.  This is not good for berries, and to add insult to injury, it got warm.  We continued to pick, but it became more difficult as the rainy days continued.  Finally, after sticking my fingers in 10 mushy berries in order to find one good one, I decided that it was time to move on to other endeavors. 

But in every cloud, there is a silver lining.  All of the rain and warm weather has given us the best corn crop that I have seen in many years.  We can't wait until the end of June when we start pulling corn.  We hope to see you then!
