We harvested green lettuce, green romaine, green spinach, greens and more greens! I'm surprised we haven't all turned green from eating so much green stuff! I have no idea how Belle's been able to process it all! We also harvested an astounding number of strawberries -a full third of last year's total harvest -in just one week! I should remember that they come in big and fast at first. Then they slow down and get smaller and smaller till they finally stop. But winter was mild, and we were very attentive to the strawberry bed this year with acidic mulch and several organic compost amendments. I'm really hoping for our biggest haul ever in berries this year.

| Sorry it's blurry... will accept donations for a decent camera! Sydney doesn't care about strawberries. She wants dinner! |
