Strawberry picking for me really marks the beginning of the canning,/freezing/preserving for the winter season.

It has been a bit of a late year with record rains in June, so the strawberries never really plumped up and became delicious. This is a photo of our last trip out where I ended up bring home less than half a pound (I usually end up with over 1 pounds).

I did enjoy myself just sitting in the field going through and picking and eating the sun warmed strawberries for myself. It was a delicious treat that I hope can last me until next year.
