Happy Monday everyone! I couldn’t wait to announce our very first strawberries as they were harvested last week so I posted about them on Wednesday! They were absolutely divine!!!

I spent a lot of time last weekend cleaning, blanching and freezing all the greens we harvested last week. I always forget how a huge harvest…
