Tunnel Produces Big Strawberries - Really Big!

Here are a few strawberry pictures - Charles picked these this morning out of the high tunnel.

We put the ruler there, because the strawberry is over 2 inches across. We put it on the postal scale, and it weighs 2.1 ounces! (It would only take 8 of these monsters to make a pound!)

The strawberry on the right is a normal sized, one-ounce berry. In the center is one that is about 1.7 ounces. The monster is on the left.

Oh yeah, they taste so juicy and sweet too! We'll have some at the Morgantown Farmers Market Saturday morning. Come early and stay in line - they'll go fast. (Market starts at 8:30 am).
