I began on the family farm where the notrh edge (10 feet (or so) was a strawberry patch approximately 150 feet long. It was bordered by the blackberry briars along the fence. These days I visit Jefferies Orchard if I want really *fresh* strawberries. Their beds are 24" raised beds to make U-Pick a reality for creaky oldsters like me. Bv)= "Jefferies Orchard offers a diverse range of fresh produce in season. The growing season starts with asparagus and rhubarb in the spring, followed by pick-your-own strawberries in late May. Pick-your-own blueberries start in late June or early July, which are the last u-pick crop of the year." https://www.jefferies-orchard.com/products-services/ DS> We stuck to picking black and red raspberries that they had trained DS> onto eight foot tall trestles.

When I bought this house I thought I had spotted the distinctive leaves of the strawberry in the side yard. What I had was (from the WIKI) "Indian-strawberry, or false strawberry,[4] often referred to as a backyard strawberry, mainly in North America, is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It has foliage and an aggregate accessory fruit similar to that of a true strawberry. It has yellow flowers, unlike the white or slightly pink flowers of true strawberries. It is native to eastern and southern Asia, but has been introduced to many other areas as a medicinal and an ornamental plant." I blame the birds for my fake strawberry bed. The small, hard fruits are said to be edible - but I find them sour/bitter som leave them as found, Bv)= MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Strawberry Grapefruit Waffles Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy Yield: 4 Servings MMMMM--------------------------WAFFLES------------------------------- 1 c All-purpose flour 1 c Milk 2 lg Eggs; beaten 2 tb Sugar 1 tb Oil 2 ts Baking powder 2 ts Cinnamon 1 ts Pink grapefruit zest Cooking spray MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING------------------------------- 3/4 c Sliced strawberries 1/3 c Pink grapefruit juice; - strained 3 tb Honey Add'l grapefruit segments; - opt Pats of butter; opt Set oven @ 200ºF/93ºC.
