tons of strawberries

well, at least it seems that way.  we only have 4 little strawberry plants, but today we picked 21 strawberries.  we have been picking handfuls all week and today they just exploded.


mr. t is very proud of his hard work - he helps weed around the plants, water when necessary and spread the straw around to protect the berries.  he is the official picker too and knows not to pick the strawberries until they are really, really red.  

"don't pick the yellow ones mommy!"


he tells everyone about the strawberries in his yard and he is especially proud that we use the strawberries in his breakfast smoothies.  today we ate a few and then shared with friends at lunch.
