Strawberry Season Soon to Finish, Raspberry Season Soon to Begin. Corey Lablans For The Whig-Standard
Rain and recent sunny weather has made for nice red plump strawberries. Sunny weather allows the berries to ripen quicker, while rainy weather means they will take longer says Christine Paul owner of Fruition Berry Farm, along with her husband Ken Paul. “Everything has been out of whack due to this year’s spring,” mentioned Paul. Strawberries are expected to carry on through the week but everything is reliant upon the weather. The raspberry season is forecasted to start within the next week to two weeks, again relying on the weather. Currently sugar snap peas and regular shelling peas are available with beans arriving in a few weeks.
