Well, it's May! Time to wrangle up some berries down on the farm.
Here I am at the farm. You really shouldn't watch this video. Nope!
YouTube isn't behaving right now and won't let me upload the thumbnail but click on that link and it'll take you there. But you shouldn't.
Anyhoo, ya'll know how to pick some berries, right? No? NO IDEA? Well, here's how:
Had to annotate it some to make it a little more excitin' like.
After we picked 'em, we got ta eatin' 'em in style.
Then, we stopped by Katona Farms (just down the road a touch) to get us some asparagusses.
And I made a farm kitty friend!

I think I'll make some easy strawberry jam with those berries now.
Hasta pronto!
I am SO excited that its finally strawberry season!!
ReplyDeleteRight? It's the best part of late spring. Oh, and asparagus! I LOVE asparagus, too.
DeleteThe worst part is mosquitoes.
I remember the single immutable rule of strawberry picking as a kid - one for the basket, one for the mouth! yum!
ReplyDeleteMy son adheres to this rule, but it's more like a two to one ratio of mouth to basket. Oh well!
DeleteYeay!
ReplyDeleteHey Dawn - We won't have strawberries in Michigan for another month or so. I planted a bunch in my garden, so that should be fun. I love your simple recipe for Quick Jam... I might just have to try that! Happy Weekend!!
ReplyDeleteTracy, can't wait to hear about your berries! How exciting!
DeleteLet me know if you do try the Quick Jam recipe, I love it. If you get a TON of berries and make more jam than you can eat in three weeks, you can just go ahead and can the recipe, too, for longer storage.
XOXO!
