One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides.

Harvest Haven Aerials-10  1

Looking forward to a bumper crop of sweet strawberries.

With the unseasonably warm spring, we've been able to plant some crops for early harvest. Now, this much-needed rain will cause everything to turn green and the seeds to sprout. Looking forward to fresh garden goodness.

Remember this video from the fall, Straw Your Strawberries!?

The picture at the beginning of this newsletter is the same field with some of the straw removed to expose the strawberry plants. We anticipate sweet berries this summer because "you need straw for STRAWberries."
