Berry Time

Spring seems to be a time for strawberries here on the farm.  Three patches, all created by woofer volunteers, are producing several quarts daily, which are a prized sale items at the local market.  An area recently planted in blueberries seems to be taking hold as well, although only producing a handful now and then.  We shall see...some of what is grown here is of an experimental nature.  Farming in Hawaii has a bit of a gamble to it, but when plants take off, they often produce bountifully!
