It’s always a good sign when we go into a Labour Weekend with beautiful sunny weather.
The last few weeks weather hit strawberry production as the cold and wet damaged berries that were supposed to be picked now. As quality dropped, the amount of second grade berries soared, meaning there were less on the market.
The great news is, that although it’s still cool, the sun is here and everything is drying out, and there are lots of beautiful berries turning red and ripe!
By late next week the season will be in full swing, so look out for all those juicy red strawberries hitting the shelves.
