Well the bad news (for you) is the strawberries are over with! I can't say that I will miss them! But the good news is that the blueberries have started! They are a little higher to pick, but it takes so many of them to make a pint! Oh, well the picker is never happy! Any way be looking for them in your CSA boxes this week. Also new potatoes hopefully. The sweet potatoes sure are looking good. The day we planted them they were such small little slips and it was so hot, they wilted down and we were pretty sure we'd lose at least half of them! But we really put the water to them and kept them wet for a couple of days, and then it rained and cooled off and it looks like we have only lost three!! Now to keep the deer away from them! The deer sure have been doing a number on the radicchio! I didn't think anything would eat that as it is bitter! They haven't touched the cardoon though! That's prickly like a thistle!
