Frosty Morning in early April

Oso accompanies me to turn the sprinklers off on a recent frosty morning. The sprinklers were used for frost protection in the strawberries and asparagus this last week.

Due to recent rains and the added sprinkler water from the frost protection effort, the strawberries are flooded in standing water.

Berries are cracked from all the over-watering. Any red berries in the field have now spoiled or frozen from recent conditions, but green and flowering berries were safe from frost this week.

Oso decides the cracked and flooded berries are perfectly tasty for an early morning breakfast.
