The strawberries are beginning to ripen - finally! Strawberries need lots of sun for the ripening process. They also need warm days and nights. This spring has been a combination of cold weather with cloudy days. We figure we are almost two weeks behind our usual time for picking strawberries. Here's today's picture of the patch:

In other good news, the tomatoes are starting to blossom in the greenhouse. We have the sides of the greenhouse rolled up so the bees can get inside to help pollinate the tomatoes. You can see the edges of the greenhouse are wet. We had storms again last night.

| The sticks are put next to the tomatoes to keep them from falling. The strings also help the plant to grow upright. |
