Grow Your Own
Our strawberry crop is sub-par so far, but the potatoes are tremendous.
I don't know how you grew your strawberries or how different they are from the '07 picture, but I would check for Verticillium rot as I had an entire row come up short this year from that.
Also, I've found most strawberries only last a few years after the first year of training. If they are starting to lack production, it might be good to pull these out and plant new strawberries next year.
Nice potatoes. What variety are those?
