The strawberries, that is. At least here in southwest Michigan. All the local patches (including my strawberry patch that meanders around some of our raised beds) wrapped up the strawberry season over the weekend. The strawberries started early and left just as quickly as they arrived. We made the most of them and enjoyed fresh strawberries on cereal, pancakes, waffles and ice cream. I ate countless bowls of strawberry shortcake as well. In fact, with that in mind it is probably just as well that the season is over - at least as far as my waistline is concerned.
Here is what our local orchard, Corey Lake Orchards, had to say about the season -

Currently, we accept phone orders Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. Beginning the week of June 28, 2010 we will accept phone orders Monday through Thursday. We're going to give this a trial run during the summer and see how it goes. Just as always, you will be able to place online orders 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Also, nothing will change with the shipping of your order - that time frame will remain the same. We will also still respond to email inquiries on Fridays.
In the summer, the majority of our phone orders come Monday through Thursday anyway so that is why we are experimenting with this new schedule. Come Labor Day, we'll reevaluate it and move forward from there.
