A few years ago I got over 100 pounds of peaches off my peach tree in the span of a few weeks. I had bowls and bowls and bowls of peaches to process.Cat Eye Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02858322427127791100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-1769020601067725492013-06-04T11:20:57.284-05:002013-06-04T11:20:57.284-05:00Nancy, although I still enjoy eating them right ou...Nancy, although I still enjoy eating them right out of the garden, I am putting most of them in the freezer for the winter when they'll be appreciated once again.<br /><br />Mooberry, you know, I've never made angel food cake. May have to just so I can put some strawberries on top.<br /><br />Chai Chai, don't feel badly, the only reason I'm getting a strawberry harvest now is because I planted them LAST year...I'm still WAY behind on everything else.<br /><br />Kelly, I'm not having roly poly problems, just squishy bottoms, assuming because I didn't put a dry mulch down. Live & learn.<br /><br />Sandy, I'm sorry I have no idea what type they are, but there are obviously two types as one is really tiny (like smaller than a dime) and the others are like those huge ones in the grocery stores. Haven't made fruit leather....yet :)<br /><br />Don, I've never made wine, but I think a berry wine would be one of my first attempts.<br /><br />gld, I think the only reason I got so many this year was because the plants were already two years old when my mom gave them to me.<br /><br />SFG, as long as you don't mind bending down it's a great harvest! <br /><br />SciFi, I know, I'm such an ingrate!<br /><br />Susan, you and Don can bring your wine glasses here when/if I finally make a wine. Man, your weather sure does suck this year :(Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-11485035086415824282013-06-03T12:59:17.429-05:002013-06-03T12:59:17.429-05:00Oh, you poor thing!

Our weather has been so weird - snow/heat/cold/heat - that, while there are lots of flowers on the plants, nothing much has developed. I like that suggestion of strawberry wine, though. Hmmm.

I have several plants that are providing a lot of berries but not enough to make a very large harvest daily. Have you tried making strawberry leather for eating with using your dehydrator? <br /><br />Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-61821409973730459412013-06-01T22:27:13.343-05:002013-06-01T22:27:13.343-05:00I feel your pain!

I froze those babies, and made cobblers, and... got to the point I couldn't eat any more. They were great over the winter though...
