Strawberry Fields Forever

I am happy to report that the strawberries are really taking off with thier flowering.  From far away it doesn't look like much is going on in that patch, but if you look closely you can see dozens of tiny white flowers throughout the bed.  Maybe even hundreds.  None of them has produced anything resembling a strawberry yet, but I think that will change in the next few weeks.  If I can keep the bugs and the birds out of the patch I hope we get a good harvest this year.  I know I will eat as many as I can fresh, but if we can't keep up with them I will be making my first attempt at strawberry jam.
