Wednesday’s Photos
The Pleasures of Colour, Shape, and Taste
Look what I have picked from our raised garden beds. The strawberries plants were shipped to BC from Prince Edward Island two years ago. Now they are at the peak of their production. A bowl a day provides a healthy collection of jam, cake topping, or just the pleasure of eating them

Your strawberries are gorgeous and look mouthwateringly delicious. Congratulations on such a rich harvest.

Your strawberries look like they taste like real strawberries, I’m sure they are different than store bought.

Indeed, the store-bought ones cannot compete with strawberries coming out of your own garden.

Nice harvest, Peter. The only time I buy strawberries is when they are in season from local farmers and our season just ended. The ones that get shipped and are white inside just aren’t as good. We thought about purchasing some plants but did not. Yours look very tasty.

Home-grown strawberries are the best. The store-bought ones cannot compete with them.

They look simply delicious, Peter! Great specimens! I have given up on strawberries … nearly … it is too dry in spring and the birds love them. 😉

Wie lecker!! Da möchte man gleich reinbeißen! Und ja- diese schmecken sicher auch wirklich nach Erdbeeren und nicht nur nach Wasser..
Biene wird viel Leckeres damit zaubern. Da bin ich fest überzeugt..
Herzliche Grüße an Euch beide aus Rerik an der Ostsee von uns Urlaubern!

Heute habe ich so viele Erdbeeren aus dem Garten geholt, dass Biene gleich Erdbeermarmelade aus ihnen gemacht hat. Herzliche Grüße aus dem fernen Kanada!

These may be the prettiest strawberries I’ve seen. Of course, when they’re in season here, I concentrate more on consuming them than on viewing them, so I may have missed a few other pretty ones along the way!

I agree good-looking strawberries are not
the reason we grow them. Today I picked too many to eat, so my wife made seven jars of strawberry jam.

That sounds like work! 😊 I froze several quarts a couple of years ago and we made smoothies all summer. Nothing like fresh fruit.

So now you’ve metaphorically bedded down with the fruit that you raised in your raised garden beds.
I see that German calls a strawberry an Erdbeere, or earthberry.

I assume there’s an implicit comparison to berries that grow higher up on bushes or trees.
