soaking up the last bit of sun before winter, these strawberries are hunkering down for dormancy
Most people don’t think about strawberry plants past June, but here at the farm we pay attention to them all year round. This newly weeded field is hunkering down for winter. Strawberries are evergreen–while some outer leaves die back, the center leaves remain green, flat to the ground and hopefully under a blanket of snow. By Christmas we’ll have this field mulched with straw to protect the delicate plants from the brunt of the cold.
