      Strawberries , that is . With today's haul we have enough for a batch   
   of jam ... half pints are in the dishwasher , berries are on the counter   
   ready to cap-n-smash .In addition , the corn is coming up nicely , I   
   will have to reseed a couple of spots though . Taters are boomin' , got   
   them hilled up nicely and mulched heavily with straw . I'm seeing a few   
   beans sprouting (blue lake bush) and the bunching onions are mostly up   
   now . The tomatoes got the cardboard then straw mulch treatment , trying   
   to prevent soil splashing on them to help prevent blight problems . And   
   yesterday I saw some of the beets have come up too . It's been a cool   
   wet spring , I feel like I'm behind - but I'm not really , summer's here   
   are pretty long and I won't worry about frost until early October .
