National Strawberry Day - February 27th

Here in the frozen north ( Toronto ) we have ripe red strawberries at the supermarkets, from Plant City Florida this week. A 2 day reffer truck trip from Florida to our supermarkets here in Ontario. Grapes from South Africa, by air, and peppers from Peru, where it is summer time for them. JimB.
 

DH & brother..when 'kids'..grew strawberries for 4H project.
Biggest, juiciest..'I heard'..from family discussion.

P.S. ❤️ 'em
 
Many times during the summer we can go and PYO.. strawberries at local farms..

MY mother would never eat strawberries, she said when she was a child, they would help the farmer pick his strawberries .. and get paid dependant on how much they picked. The basket was weighed and they got their money. She said they all peed in the basket to make it heavier.. :eek:

I love strawberries. I was surprised to find out how many fruits are in the rose family.
Missed getting strawberries (or Kahua for that matter) today.
If you miss a particular thing on a "National Day" can you make up for it? :)
