Then half the time they would end up dry in the fridge or rotting on the counter because I didn't get around to it. Such a waste! I hate to think of all the enjoyment I deprived my kids of. Now, unless we have immediate plans, such as for a company dessert, we just rinse them and eat them! I've even served them that way for a company dessert.mommo4.5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14573084935951083448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-71797118590488343522013-06-12T23:37:21.351-04:002013-06-12T23:37:21.351-04:00Gorgeous!

A lot depends on how much travelling I'm doing in May. I admit that I garden less now that we belong to a CSA -- and now that my kids are older, which frees me to travel more.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-84378468805465563092013-06-12T17:07:38.484-04:002013-06-12T17:07:38.484-04:00I don't remember from your other posts: Does ...I don't remember from your other posts: Does your family have even a small garden?

Fresh daiquiri season begins in April, gets a little flat in late September, but renews again for a late season in October. They are so sweet and juicy. It's one of the best things about living in the Central Valley! Almost makes up for the heat LOLbeemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586002274610935989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-18896275369957810882013-06-12T09:44:21.632-04:002013-06-12T09:44:21.632-04:00Fresh strawberries!

How much and what we get depends a bit on the weather, and it's always fun to see what the week brings.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-85527369445335775342013-06-11T18:19:48.825-04:002013-06-11T18:19:48.825-04:00A nice bounty there.
