Spring delight


What has caught his eye, you may ask? (hint: there's a clue on his cheek)



Only the darkest, juiciest strawberries we've ever seen. 


They're a super tender, tasty, juicy variety.


I've never seen strawberries like these before, only here in Georgia for about three weeks in the spring. You could never export these fragile gems . . . they barely made it home without bursting, and we didn't give them much of a chance after that. They usher in a wonderful season of fruitful plenty that continues through to the fall: strawberries, mulberries, blueberries, cherries, apricots, plums, each passing the baton until we arrive at the apples and pears of the final harvest.

  1. Aaak! This reminds me of the wild strawberries in Poland. Seriously the sweetest, most delicious strawberries I've ever tasted. I loved being able to buy them by the kilo on the street. I love your beautiful pics, Amber.
