Have you ever tasted these tiny gems? I don't think I have seen wild strawberries in the US ever. In France they are called "fraises des bois"; anyway, it is so nice to have a farm nearby and folks who care for it to befriend.tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-13104225271997120922011-06-29T20:09:53.078-04:002011-06-29T20:09:53.078-04:00I loved your post and very definitely loved the pi...I loved your post and very definitely loved the pie! :-)Janet@ from cupcakes to caviarhttp://www.fromcupcakestocaviar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-5137605151034465372011-06-29T10:35:19.624-04:002011-06-29T10:35:19.624-04:00i think a ligonberry blonde would be more appropri...i think a ligonberry blonde would be more appropriatealfred pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-66422266677981838852011-06-28T05:40:15.604-04:002011-06-28T05:40:15.604-04:00Alfred- Maybe you should look for a strawberry blo...Alfred- Maybe you should look for a strawberry blonde.T.W.

Your recent post about strawberries made me very homesick. You see, the locals here tell me that the Swedes don't eat anything red--that's how they maintain their blonde hair and fair complexion. Unfortunately, I've discovered that red foods made up a disproportionate amount of my diet back in the States--so now I am literally starving. So, please, if you can, in future posts write about something yellow.

In my opinion, not often enough. You must have felt like a child set free in the fields.<br /><br />I've only picked strawberries once and it was best described as stoop labor.

Life is not perfect, Mother Nature can be capricious, and what's bad for the strawberries will be the perfect environment for something else.
