Hope everyone had a good weekend. Spring is coming to a close. I was asked recently about something called strawberry spring…. read below.

Is there such a thing as strawberry spring? If so, when is it? Officially, we have no record on strawberry spring, although it is well known that strawberries have a very short season and are usually harvested during the month of June, In fact we refer to the June Full Moon as the “Strawberry Moon” because it coincides with the time of the month when most people are in the fields picking them.

However, based on hands-on experience, the best strawberry years seem to be those when the springtime temperatures averaged slightly below average and precipitation is also below the norm.
