Strawberry Fields in VA

My father sent me an email tonight with his recent harvest of strawberries. Here’s what he said:

This gives an additional meaning to “Night Crawlers”… We worked on Mom’s estate sale, arrived home latish and knew that the strawberries needed to be picked. Mom took the 1st two photos, but she usually is seated on the old kitchen stool and holds the net close to me as I crawl/reach into our 5 year old strawberry bed and pick the berries depositing into the net then she empties them into a colander when the net is full. 3rd photo shows us at the “strawberry tower”, the strawberry plants there are only one season old, and as to be expected, not performing as well as the five year old plants. 4th & 5th photo are two views of last night’s picking, will pick again in about 3-4 days.
