Nothing says summer like the blooms on my strawberry plants here in Ohio. When they ripen in late May-early June they are the sweetest berries you’ve ever tasted. I also enjoy berries in late February from my dome garden here in NW Ohio. There are a few varieties I know I can trust a harvest from. These sweet treats are easy to make and perfect for your next summer gathering, picnic, or date night.
