Strawberries...?...in August

Okay so there aren't really any berries in this picture but to me even taking pictures of the plants in August is a bit strange. Some of our berry plants were mowed down already but this shot is of one of the new patches that were planted in the spring. We planted several acres of berries this year to better supply our need in the coming years. Hopefully next year the weather proves more conducive to strawberries than this year did.
On the horizon our peach and apricot trees. and if I had a fisheye lens you could probably see apples and cherries as well. Often fruit is not grown in huge blocks like grains but in smaller sections like a patchwork quilt using the same and varied fabric in a random but well thought out pattern.


~Christina...Strawberries are one of my favorites!
