i wasn't planning on doing more but it turned out
that we had a pile of berries picked and Ma helped
clean them up and get them ready... another 9 pints
were done and are now set up and in the freezer
ready for the coming year.

the strawberry crop was good enough this year but
about half of what we had last season. no complaints
for sure as we're about done with them and still
eating shortcake as often as we can. only had two
others come out to pick and gave some fresh berries
away to a few friends. still i'd say we had about
40kg of berries (and plenty shared with the critters
too).

the wormies love the leftovers from cleaning the
berries...
