My favorite vege-tables

Yesterday, I was shopping at Stono Farm Market and the owner mentioned that they would be opening their U-pick strawberry fields today. That's one and a half months earlier than expected (thanks, global warming!). Since Mike and I love strawberries, I figured I would check it out.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and I managed to restrain myself and only picked about 2 pounds of strawberries. Hopefully we'll be able to eat that many without getting sick of them. And I definitely plan on going back again several times.

When I got home, I baked a batch of shortcakes and whipped up some cream.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you the first strawberry shortcake of the season:

And, as I was paying for my berries, I noticed that they had a table of other produce from the farm. They had some various lettuces, and these carrots:

Only about 2-3 inches long, they were too cute to pass up. I'm looking forward to seeing what other cool fruits and veggies we'll get as the summer approaches.
