STRAWBERRIES FOR TEA (AGAIN)


STRAWBERRIES  FOR  TEA  (AGAIN)

These are Parkers Cambridge favourites, giving 2lbs. yield from each plant. I've been spending all my spare time picking them and we've been eating them every day, also giving them away to anyone I can. Now please can we have rain for our currants, apples, pears, plums and cherries.

Yum yum yum - they look beautiful, in fact, my mouth is watering. Are they earlier than usual, lucky you :-), why can't I live next door to you.

Well that would be wonderful Dawn, especially in your part of the world. They are not as early as some I have had, I have had them from early April to October. We have been eating them every day for a week, they do have a lovely flavour the result of the hot sunny days and plenty of water underneath. These are no more now, mmm lovely.

I was thinking it would be wonderful to be neighbours in your part of the world, lol. I never knew you could have strawberries as early as April. Love the taste of strawberries, yum. Locally we have strawberry fields - Pick Your Own, never ready until the end of June/beginning of July. So yours were very nice while they lasted.

Lucky you, I would love to have so many strawberries that I had to give them away!!
