Our strawberry season is nearly upon us.

It is not yet strawberry season on the farm. We expect the season to start after the winter.
There are strawberry flowers in the fields, which is a good sign that season may start a little earlier than previous years. We hope that there will not be a really cold spell in the coming weeks.

The strawberries, from the sounds of it, have been picked out in our fields today. We do still have mulberries, delicious big black ones, gorgeous plump white ones, and then our own rose half breed - varying in colour from a very light purple, to almost black.

The fields are closed for today, the masses of people,crazy heat and nasty drought are taking their toll on the strawberries. The plants are sending out runners, signifying the strawberry production will be tapering off - we have the heat to thank for that...
On a different note, we would like t…
The heat has really taken hold of us on the farm. It's sweltering on the farm.
This heat is not conducive to growing of strawberries, and we have noticed this week that there are more and more plants sending out runners... this leads to the season coming to an end.
We have still had a really c…

What a beautiful morning it is. Gorgeous blue skies, fresh muddy earth, with a light breeze.
We had some fantastic rain last night, helping to replenish the nutrients and water the strawberries. The weeds love the rain too, with a whole lot coming up this last week.
We weren't picked out yest…
What beautiful weather we have been having.
The slow drumming of the rain on our iron roofs has been a very welcome sound, one that is great to fall asleep to.
With the rain comes renewed growth on the farm. The strawberries will be sitting up and taking notice of the the nitrogen filled rain …

Just to clear things up:
We do not have a shortage of strawberries.
We have more strawberry plants and therefore more strawberries than we have had in previous seasons.
A lot more peo…
Happy Friday everyone...
Things in the fields are looking good, despite the lack of rain. We have been watering like crazy this week, trying to keep up with the insane heat that we have been experiencing, with temperatures in the mid to late 30's.
The weatherman says it's going to be a sunny, …
So, we have been picked out again...
The masses from Jo'burg, Pretoria and surrounds have emptied out our fields for this weekend. But not to fear, our season is nowhere near over. We will be open again next weekend for picking, as we will have a good amount of our delicious berries, ripe for the…
