Do you know that March is the beginning of strawberry season in Georgia? My Grandma Dean was a skilled gardener, and some of my best childhood memories involve times we spent together in her gardens. She grew a variety of fruits and vegetables including tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, corn, green beans, cherries, and strawberries. One fine spring day Grandma and I set out to the strawberry patch. I carried a pail and Grandma, wearing her flipflops, lead the way down the path. We commenced picking berries. But then I came to one that just would not budge no matter how hard I pulled on it. Grandma laughed and said, “Child, you’re trying to pick my toe!” Indeed, upon further inspection, I recognized Grandma’s big toe, with the toenail painted bright red, the same vibrant color as the strawberries! Recalling this memory puts a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. I can’t wait for locally grown strawberries!
Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
