May 2008 Events
5/1/2008 to 6/1/2008
Our 36th annual strawberry crop should ripen in early May. We are busy most every month of the year growing strawberries. During the summer months, new fields are planted and current fields are nurtured for next spring's harvest. Special care is given during the early fall period as that is when strawberries set their flower buds for next year's crop. Through the winter months we keep the plants cozy with special blankets. During early springtime the flowers must be protected from frosts and freezes.
