nothing beats michigan grown fresh fruits and veggies – especially when you grow them yourself and can eat them right off the vine.
my daughter is having so much fun picking her strawberries and helping me pick my cucumbers (“mommy, there’s a cucumber…it’s got prickers so you pick it”) and my tomatoes. she still won’t eat the tomatoes and cucumbers but the strawberries don’t make it into the house very often.
the “sherry the berry” strawberries my daughter planted (from the chef jeff kids line) seem to be an ever-bearing variety…i’m good with that!
picking my own strawberries is really fun….
….and eating them is even more fun!
