Wednesday Medley- NATIONAL STRAWBERRY DAY

NATIONAL STRAWBERRY DAY – February 27

NATIONAL STRAWBERRY DAY - February 27

NATIONAL STRAWBERRY DAY


*************************************
1.  Given all that information on this 🍓National Strawberry Day🍓, do you have a favorite recipe for strawberries?  Would you share it with us?  I like eating strawberries and I like strawberry cake, but I do not really have any special recipes that use strawberries, maybe I will find some doing this meme.
2.  Some people think the smaller, northern varieties are sweeter than the larger berries that grow in the south and in California.  What are your thoughts on that?  I wouldn't know.
3.  There is a Strawberry Festival right here in Plant City, Florida (next town over from Lakeland) and it is a huge event that lasts 11 days with headliner acts each day.  Have you ever been to a Strawberry Festival?  no
4.  Strawberries are grown in every US state.  Have you ever grown them in your garden?  My Grandpa used to have a strawberry bed and I would help him pick strawberries every summer.  I loved doing that.  I have not grown them myself.
5.  Strawberry is the only fruit that has seeds on the outside, and technically it is not a berry but rather a fruit, and would you be surprised to learn that strawberries belong to the rose family?  Do you have any strawberry trivia to share with us?  no
6.  Tell us something random about your week!!  It was 64º here today in Missouri.  The kids were so excited to get to go outside and play.  The cold and rain return tomorrow.  I watched the Oscars on Sunday and enjoyed that for a change.  I am not into hearing their opinions on politics, so I usually do not watch, but it was not too bad this year.  Queen and Lady Gaga were awesome.

  2. It's freezing here in NJ.
    Strawberries grow wild in my yard every year but birds eat them before I can get to them.

  5. It was 50 degrees and sunny here for most of the day, but it's falling temps and snow for tomorrow. Blah.

  6. That's exactly why I don't watch award shows: too much political posturing. They're barely about the awards.

  7. We used to go pick strawberries when I was a kid and some older but now I go after those already picked...lol! I actually would like to try growing some of my own, maybe in containers. Enjoy your weekend!
