Driving up Jubilee Way this morning, I saw that the PYO Strawberries at Broadlees Farm (opposite the main entrance to the Duke of York's School) opened for the first time this season today. £4.00 for 1 Kilo basket, just under £1.00 a pound - and absolutely delicious.....had to stop and get some, and I was their first customer of the season!

Congratulaitions Andy on being the first customer. All sounds delicious. I always thought strawberries were very tasty of course, but with no partiocular food supllemental quality or value, but it seems they are very good in the fight against cancer. Thought I would throw that in... this being a 'no smoking saves you from heart attack' kind of morning.

The White Mill farm shop Nr Sandwich has been selling local strawberries for about 3 weeks now, possibly originating from the poly tunnels at Thanet, a nice taste of Summer.

Howard perhaps Andy is including the 2 pound he ate while picking the rest

martin makes a valid point, this farm complained last summer that a lot of their customers worked on the "one in the punnet, one in the mouth" repeat 30 times school of picking.
andy, maybe your maths was correct?

No, Howie, my maths was crap........I didn't pick my own, just bought a basket off the counter. Time is money, you know!
