We have a slow, steady rain this morning....much needed in more ways than one. The garden is dry and I am way behind in my indoor duties.
Yesterday we picked a 1/2 bushel of beautiful strawberries. The weather has been dry, but now that the rain and humid air have descended, I know the strawberries will start to mold inside the rows if they don't have air circulation and sunshine. So I went through the bed on my hands and knees picking berries and pulling out plants to accomplish that purpose. I found lots of hidden berries that way too. The freezer is full and I have customers coming to buy the rest. Gave some to Rachel yesterday. Good crop this year, but I need to find a later variety for half the crop and enforce my picking space between the rows.
