Is it possible to overdose on fresh strawberries? Not the plastic imported garbage the grocery stores insist upon feeding us. I’m talking about FRESH LOCAL strawberries. We’ve eaten so many, I keep checking the mirror to see if I’ve turned a lovely shade of strawberry red. Last Wednesday we went down to the farmers market and bought strawberries, peas, spinach and some lovely lettuce. Good eating. Alas, we finished all the berries and the peas and not much of the spinach is left. The farmers market is only open on Wednesday so I have a few days to wait.
Our grocery stores are a disgrace. You have to hunt for local produce. How can the farmers make a profit when the stores won’t sell their produce. Lots of California strawberries, but not a single Ontario basket. Disgraceful. I won’t touch the California factory farmed food. I’ll do without.
Is it Wednesday yet?

OOO, hope you CANT overdose on strawbs!
We are growing the tiniest alpine strawberries, and they taste completely yummy!
You are very right Catpaw – supermarket fruit doesnt have any flavour like anything!
It’s just kind of wet and maybe crunchy.
I actually managed to find some potatoes in one of the small european supermarkets that tasted just like new potatoes used to taste when years ago.
I’m completely fed up with tasteless supermarket fruit – bland bland bland!
Hurrah for farmers markets and growing your own

Been playing with the idea, but really, it would be like flogging a dead horse. The poor sod was a mockery of his former self. I’m not too keen on beating up on him any more than the press will be doing.

I have just discovered hydroponics gardening to grow my tomatoes all year long. I’ve used to grow my fruits outdoors in my backyard, but had problems with kids & pests. Now I’ve have moved my hydroponics garden indoors and begun growing my garden with hydroponics. The plants grow better and the organic results are wonderful. I would steer you towards hydroponics gardening to anyone looking to grow plants all year. Hydroponics gardening is a lot better than traditional soil gardens in my opinion. Just my opinion. I hope this helps…
