Strawberry and Raspberry Picking Underway

For the last couple of days we've been picking strawberries and raspberries, the strawberries aren't exactly abundant, but what we do have are HUGE and very tasty , the raspberries are as last year cropping very heavily, but this time they are also very big and juicy ....yummy

 

Brilliant Bilbo...i picked a few Strawberrys and rasps today...Rasps have gone straight in the freezer for future Raspberry Muffins...the Strawberrys didn't reach a dish though...this is what it's all about

 

Absolutely - 'Summer' fruits - yummmmy

My wife makes some pretty darn good raspberry and white chocolate muffins or to be healthier, raspberry and blueberry

 

Plenty lovely strawbs but no sign of a raspberry in our garden. I think we've got Autumn fruiters, though.

 

Ive managed to freeze approx 22o strawberries but the raspberries ae only just ripening
I didnt know bananas could be frozen till this week,ive not grown the bananas but bought lots,cut them in half, popped a lolly sick in them and into the freezer on a tray..yummy
you can add choc and bits to them before eaten

 

Just picked some more HUGE strawberries

 

They look lovely Bilbo what variety are they.....is that what we're having for tea then

 

I have loads of Strawbs this year. I'll be making Strawberry wine.

 

Me too. We've all had a couple of dozen each with ice cream today, given a couple of punnets worth away, frozen another couple of pounds and there's still loads left and more to pick tomorrow.

 

Them strawberries are tasting good in my lambrini aswell
or possibly making the lambrini more palatable .....cant afford asti martini no more x

 

our strawberries are doing particularly well his year too, they're not monsters like yours Bilbo675 but my goodness are they tasty we have been having strawberries & cream sitting in the garden in the sunshine every morning for over a week now, bliss

 

I didnt have time to plant strawberries, but some alpine strawberries I planted last year, I get a constant crop from, they seem to not stop until well near Christmas which is nice...now to wait on my blackberries...

 

Harvested over 1kg of raspberries yesterday in just a few minutes and there's as many again to come off tomorrow - yummy

 

My Raspberries are rubbish this year, but at least my Loganberries look like that.
