Thursday evening 4/24

   A wonderful 3/4 inch of rain yesterday made a little bit muddy Strawberry picking today..  A light rain is falling here as we speak.  It looks like a few pop up showers are on the radar with no real organization in our area.  The only muddy spots currently are between the Strawberry rows in the low spots.  The green belts, parking lot and walking areas are all in good shape.  Old shoes or rubber boots would be best if coming tomorrow.  
   Regarding Strawberries: it is a treasure hunt.  Once set of folks will say they didn't find a thing when a person or two behind them comes up with a full box.  300 pounds were picked today and I imagine that we will have almost that amount tomorrow but ...... it is going to be a hunt and you might have to get in the mud to get them.   The past two weeks have been mild weather and we are seeing some strong nice Strawberry blooms.  Will they set? will we have Strawberries in Mid May? - time will tell but it looks promising
   The Flower field is finished  ....... for now.  Sunflowers are growing well and the hope is to be picking them by May 11 - 15.  The field looks wonderful and we are exited about their possibility.
    The  activities are going well, goats are hungry (3 newborns today) and people seem to be having a good time.  The Farm is open rain or shine - Hope to see you soon!
