Today I woke up and decided that the cabbage plants in my little garden by the house had to go. It was just getting big and there were no heads coming up. It was only producing leaves. Lovely leaves but no good stuff so out it came. I planted in its stead two zucchini plants and two squash plants. I did some weeding and I took some pictures for you. I have a space for some carrots that have yet to be planted.
I then took the girls strawberry picking. It is a bit of a ride to get to the berry farm but well worth it. We arrived and everyone else apparently had the same thoughts as me because they were ALL there. We got closer to the ticket window and I realized that this is the Strawberry Festival at the berry farm today. The girls were good and didn't bug me about riding rides and such. We went to pick strawberries and that is what we were going to do. We picked some good berries, about 15 lbs. When we got home I made some strawberry jam, masserated some for shortcake tonight and we have a bunch left. I will make some more jam tomorrow and freeze some for later too.
I love this time of year. It is warm but not too hot and the veggies are growing, the flowers are blooming and the strawberries are ripe! Plus it is Mother's Day tomorrow!!
