Strawberry fields forever!!
The strawberry season is here again, and as we won’t be getting much time off for a while we decided to head over to a strawberry farm in Sodegaura for some “as much as you can eat” strawberry picking!!
The strawberries are all grown organically so we didn’t need to worry about washing them or anything. There were sections of the greenhouse with bees buzzing around, but they didn’t come over to where we were. Because they grow on these stands, they were just the right height for Hana to reach!!
We decided we would all try and eat 100 each, but I don’t think any of us managed it!! I think I got closest though, I had about 75!!! But that’s only because Hana was saying “Eat some more Daddy!!”.
Hana was pretty good at finding the best strawberries as she is small enough to walk under the stands that the strawberries grow on. So she could scoot from row to row looking for the best ones!!
I really think winter is the best season in Japan……………..blue skies most of the time and no mosquitoes!! So, we headed to the park withour bellies full of strawberries to play on the playground………………
Anyway, I hope 2011 has been a great year for you all so far!!
All the best,
Eddie
