Been awhile since I updated this thread.
May 25th was first picking. Had a high of 29 pints on a picking. We pick Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings & sometimes Sunday morning depending on weather.
They slowed a little around July 1, 8 pints was smallest picking.
We trimmed off runners for a good 3 weeks. Now they are re-blooming & have tremendous amount of fruit.
Picked 42 pints last evening.

Birds were giving us a bad time, so we put netting over the beds. The only other problem are picnic bugs. Only if you miss one & it gets overripe.
