When strawberries were on sale

I picked up enough to do a batch of freezer jam. This is the first time I have ever bought fruit for jam and it really made me miss (and in hindsight, appreciate) my strawberry and raspberry gardens at the other house.



Nathan is a great sous-chef!



He measured, mixed, twisted all the lids on, and licked his fingers with yummy enthusiasm.

If anyone close to me knows of free raspberry or strawberry plants or berries, please let me know. I would be happy to transplant and/or pick.

Not fair I have wanted freezer jam for so long. Anyway my mom said she can get you all the strawberry plants you want she just got 2 little swim pools and planted a bunch. and they are transplanting the razzberries and I think she has more than she can handle so when they are ready I'm sure you can have your pick of them too.
