Would be great advertising for "Green Clean NZ" - wouldn't it!

Years ago strawberries came in littlelight wood chip type slatted containers. I think, maybe I'm dreaming it is a hot day.

Agree, the strawberries we have been buying are tasteless this year, it will be the damp season up north doing it. While we have been basking in hot dry conditions in the deep south this summer our own strawberry's are nice large juicy berries, with good flavour which is very unusual for us and its so good.

The ones I have bought in Kapiti (welington) have been devine, I do leave for a day to ripen a bit more but as for the raspberrys! I bought two punnets at $6 each - and they are half the size of the strawberry punnets- used one the day I purchased them, the next day the other punnet had the juice running out and were mushy and mouldy!

You do not know where they came from seniorbones. There are a few big berry farms in Auckland that basically sell from the Far North to the South Island. So it is really hit and miss. I guess the best berries we will have this year will be from Central Otago - and those people really would LOVE some of our rain!
Having said that today is our only true dry day since weeks - tomorrow it will rain again I am told .
