Strawberries

This week saw the first crop of strawberries from our garden.

There was a great deal of excitement and I had to intervene to stop every single strawberry being picked, ripe or not!  A few had succumbed to the slugs and snails that lurk in that area, but we had a nice bowl full.  The children excitedly dashed to Mrs Bailey's office to announce their find and she was unwittingly the official taster. She was very impressed!  The children had a taste themselves and despite sharing them with other people in school, had soon polished them off themselves.

Millie, Mia, Ben and Cobie show off our first strawberry crop

Caught you! Ben having a sneaky taste!

Hey, I've counted them, you know!
