Trim and freeze them...they freeze fairy well....use zip-lock bags and suck the air out of them once you've filled a bag up...they'll last for months, and defrost fairly well....or use them frozen in smoothies....or make a puree out of them....mmmmmm. Sugar - or any kind of honey or flavored syrups - are good options to bag them with...
I freeze them on sheet pans first - then seal them in vacuum bags once they are frozen.
These are real strawberries not the monster methyl bromide berries from California. [theconversation.com]
I have a few strawberry plants around the garden - feed the mice, birds, slugs, snails, etc - I rarely get to eat any - am envious of your crop (I buy my eaters locally)
I built a wire cage over my strawberry bed to keep the critters out...
@FrostyJim What is the cotter please?
The slugs are getting mine
Wow those look good. Enjoy the shortcake I'm sure it will be delicious.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
