Strawberries are in full swing today.  The plants have been producing a little bit  for about three weeks but things have really been cookin' the past few days.


The reason for this is Sparkle.  We planted three varieties of strawberries this year:  Earliglow, Sparkle and TriStar.  Earliglow was supposed to be the star of the three but it can't hold a candle to Sparkle!  The Sparkle plants produce what seems like hundreds of berries per plant.  They are just loaded with medium sized, brilliant red berries.  TriStar has been making a few REALLY enormous berries on each plant.  They are very tasty and almost as big as plums.


Yum!
