The blooming of strawberry plants in Ohio is a true herald of summer. As they ripen in late May to early June, they become the sweetest berries one could taste. Additionally, I relish the berries from my dome garden in late February here in Northwest Ohio. There are certain varieties that consistently yield a reliable harvest. These delightful sweets are simple to prepare and ideal for any summer event, picnic, or romantic evening.
