Strawberry Jam

And what to do with all the strawberries that we picked. We can't let them go bad and we got more the we can eat at once.
Yes, we tried....

Bulla has a very good idea, we are gonna make jam, strawberry jam!

So I start with cleaning all we need really good....I scrub and scrub, till it is all shiny!

And Bulla cleans the strawberries and cut of the ends. Bulla is very careful with the knife.

And then we put all the strawberries in a big pot with a lot of sugar.
It is like we are making strawberry soup.....mmmmm, that might be a good idea for next time.

And now, I pour the jam into the jars that I cleaned. Very carefully cause it is so hot and we don't wanna spill any of the red stuff.

We want to eat it when we like....so that might be a while...that means canning....So we put the jars in the pot with water and boil it....

For a little while....

And then....tada....we made jars with strawberry jam....

Doesn't that look good!

Our first strawberries

It has been beautiful weather and that means strawberries grow nice and big.... and delicious.

So I took Bulla out to my favorite strawberry field!

And there in the sun we plucked lots of strawberries....
and we ate a few......juicy, sweet. I really like strawberries and so does Bulla!!

One of the containers was almost empty again when we left!!
But we still had plenty left to take with us!!

Plenty to eat or bellies full later......and later again....Maybe even make jam....
You know ducks like us love jam!!

Bata meets Bulla

It is beautiful weather out....after the cold winter, I like the nice weather!

It is so nice, enjoying the sunshine and looking at my seedlings grow. It was really difficult, putting the seeds in the pots and not snacking on them.

But what do I spot in the distance......
