Fruits of Summer : Red : Strawberries & Hollyhocks
CL and Oliver picked almost 35 pounds of fresh strawberries last week. CL processed most of it into strawberry jam. HIs is just as good as Bonne Mamon from France. We greatly appreciate this taste of summer in the heart of January! When he ran out of jelly jars, we turned the rest into strawberry sauce suitable for Shortcake!
Here are a few pictures from my garden. I love Hollyhocks. I let them grow wherever they want to come up--they tend to migrate year to year. Sometimes it's inconvenient, but it's such a joy to see these bloom.
