I can barely keep up with the garden. Every morning I go out to harvest strawberries, black and red currants. It's best to harvest in the morning as this is when the berries are at their peak of sweetness. Our strawberry patch started with a couple of plants and now has grown to the size of 4' by 20 feet. It's taking up so much space that we are planning to transplant the plants to the green roof of the garden shed. This will liberate more space for veggies next year.

After I harvest as many berries as I can carry I wash, cut and freeze them in zip lock bags. The currants are frozen as they are, but the strawberries are cut into thin slices so they are ready to go when I make pie or toss them into a fruit smoothie.
