Strawberries!

Went strawberry picking today at Jones' Tree farm in Huntington, CT. They had Pumpkin seed Hill opened. I loved it! I have only been to the valley farm when picking there. Picked 12 pounds of berries for freezing and making Jam! This is the last weekend for strawberries. It has been an extremely early season this year. As we drove up to the field, the heavenly smell of strawberries permeated the air. Smelled like strawberry wine. Divine! Most of the berries were very small, which is fine for jam. They taste like sugar! I am dishwashing the jars right now. I will make 2 batches of Jam tomorrow. I can't wait!

Picked another 1/4 pound of peas from the home garden today also. They have been so good this year. The sugar ann ones have sent new blooms up. More peas! The other Johnny's peas are so tall! Unfortunately, the trellis could not handle them. I have to build an eight feet trellis next year. I am sure that the peas will grow past that anyways. I plan on building it from wood.
