Strawberries are Here!

Strawberry season is here again.  The kids had fun picking though we went late in the day so ended up with half what we normally pick.  We plan to go back when the farm opens up their second field.  We spent two afternoons processing what we picked and totals are up in the sidebar.

So far this year we have only managed to get strawberries into the freezer (1 gal bag). The kids seem to eat through them so fast here and we havent managed to get more than about 5 lbs at any one time. Hoping to get some strawberry jam up before too much longer. I just need to plan ahead.
