Friday afternoon 4/25

April is rolling right along isn't it?    Here is the skinny for the weekend: Smiling faces, last Spring weekend for Concessions (Strawberry Lemonade), lots of fun activities, spaces to run, cold Ice Cream, hungry animals and just a few Strawberries.  The Strawberry picking will be slow and require effort.  Look under the leaves of the plants to find the ones the 'walkers' missed (folks that just walk down the row, only bending over when they see one from above).  Morning arrivals are preferred as the picking will get harder as the day goes on.  The Flower field is finished until Sunflowers get here in Mid May.
    Long term Strawberries:  we actually have a good many strong white blooms that could develop into Mid May berries IF the weather doesn't get too hot.  I believe we will have a week or two of slim pickings and then maybe a little boost just about the time Sunflowers get here.  Time will tell.
    We still have a few muddy spots, of course they would be where the Strawberries are, but the parking lot, green belts and all the main areas are nice and dry.  The weather forecast looks outstanding the next few days.  It will be a wonderful outing and a little less expensive without boxes of berries to purchase.  Hope to see you soon!
