I Heart Strawberries

Look what Daniel found today whilst picking strawberries at the allotment, a heart shaped strawberry.


You don't find any funny looking fruit or veg in the supermarket these days, they all have to meet European regulations and be uniform, otherwise they're classed as imperfect. Well, I think this strawberry is totally perfect, and home grown strawberries, funny looking or not, taste much nicer than supermarket bought strawberries too.

Daniel didn't get to munch on his find as he doesn't like strawberries, neither does Mick. All the more for Eleanor and I.

I think I may have a go at making jam this year, something I've never done before.

  3. Looks good! I'm not that fussed about strawberries but as you say 'our' funny shaped ones always taste better than 'their' uniform ones. Flighty xx

  11. Thanks for your comments, Jill and Rachel.

    Jill - It was rather big, though I think the smaller ones sometimes taste nicer.

    Rachel - They certainly taste better than the watery ones bought in the supermarket.
