My new 593# baby...

Today I had a delivery...a 593# baby came to live at Le Farm.


I've already moved each piece of this 593# baby twice.  
"Three times a charm", because I have yet to move it to its 
final location for assembly.
It is my new NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service) high tunnel.
I finally ordered it, and it finally came!

YAY!

After I plow up the earth underneath it, it will house 
100 day-neutral strawberry plants.
They are a variety that produces fruit from late May to late fall.  
The 1-2" berries may be a bit smaller than June-bearing varieties, 
but they are very flavorful and sweet.

Incidentally, 
this is why I am growing my own organic strawberries...
Thanks to Wilma @Dog Day Farm for this great depiction of 
what is shockingly hidden in conventionally grown strawberries.

You don't have to grow your own, 
just always insist on buying ORGANIC.
It is well worth the extra dollar.

Don't you agree?
