The strawberries are a real surprise. I've already picked about 3 1/2 pounds, and they are a full month earlier than ever before.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-37592178196407071082013-05-25T18:55:20.881-07:002013-05-25T18:55:20.881-07:00LOl, Robin, I don't think I can teach Mr. Gran...LOl, Robin, I don't think I can teach Mr. Granny how to do videos. I'm surprised those still shots were in focus, as he never learns to depress the button just halfway to focus on the subject. <br /><br />BTW, I used your apple pie recipe to make a rhubarb pie today. I didn't have a brown paper bag, but 350F for an hour did the trick. I substituted white whole wheat flour in the crust and topping. I had to add double milk with that type of flour, but it still turned out good.
