Friday I drove a bit north of town to an area where there are many farms and they sell all sorts of fruits, veggies, etc. This time of year here it's strawberries that are in season. I found the least expensive u-pick (89 cents/lb) and started picking. Around 2 hours later, my lower back was screaming at me that I was crazy for leaning over so much, my flats were overflowing, and I also was getting a bit hot and thirsty. So decided to pack it in. Turns out I had picked 18.24 pounds of strawberries!
Once home I stemmed and froze them. The big metal bowl you see is at least 6 quarts - I had that plus at least half full again, not including some that we shared with friends, and kept whole to eat this weekend. Unfortunately, once I smashed them a little and got them into containers for freezing, they didn't seem to be so much.
Mmmm, I love summer with fresh fruits and veggies!
