    I went up after it rained to pick some strawberries for my Peach Marion tonight.  Never had such big strawberries and a terrific crop.  once I am at the stage of having them three times a day, I will make some jam and freeze the rest.

    Verdun, you will have to translate.  I would never be cruel intentionally, nor am I given to being mischievous.  If my plateful of garden lusciousness is anything but a pretty picture of the two gorgeous fruits I am enjoying from my garden at the moment then it is quite unintentional.  I have gluts of fruit as iIhave a huge garden but I give loads away.  I have posted this on a fb site and none of my friends got the message you seemed to get.  I just thought it was appropriate to post it here as these are a great sign of summer.  What would summer be without Peach Melba and strawberries at Wimbledon.
