There are PLENTY of strawberries to pick! They're ripe & deliciously sweet! Very easy pickins!

Today, we hid 3 Easter eggs, each with a coupon for a FREE basket of u-pick berries. Two of them were found today, one remains. Sunday morning, we'll re-hide the 2 that were found so there will be 3 in the patch to find. *Hint* They'll be in the back half of the patch 😊

📸 You may have noticed the small white & purple flowers in the strawberry patch. In October, we planted 38,000 strawberry plants (almost twice as many as last year). Not all of them made it through the winter, so in those spots, we planted Alyssum, which attracts good insects that eat bad insects in our strawberry patch. If you'd like some Alyssum in for your garden, we have a couple flats in our larger greenhouse. 🌸

Our lettuce is ready for harvesting! All 5 varieties are crisp and fantastic! If you're curious about the names of the different varieties, the easiest to identify is the red leaf lettuce, called Red Sails. The other 4 are green leaf lettuces. Simpson Elite has very tender leaves and is lime green. The one with frilly edges is called Great Lakes. It takes a keen eye to spot the difference between the Buttercrunch and the Romaine, but the Buttercrunch is a bit more wavy/curly and the Romaine tends to be more erect. Simply cut the whole head off at the base. Scissors provided, $2/head 🥬
