Well Pict European Portugal - Earliest Strawberry Crop Ever
Earliest ever crop: The Well-Pict European farm in Portugal has started picking earlier than ever before this season; the first harvest of Festival was on the 29th November, almost a month earlier than the first fruit was picked last season (22/12/03). The team in Portugal has put in an additional 16ha of Spanish-type tunnels and two new hectares of hydroponics. This brings the total in production for the 04/05 season to 36ha (34 covered and 2 uncovered). This area is made up of Festival, Sabrosa (Candonga), PS 592 (Endurance) and Camarosa. This selection should allow them to continue harvesting until the middle or end of August with PS 592. At the peak of production, the farm will need in the region of 300 harvesters. This season sees the team putting a big effort into getting it right for the UK market. The early Festival, Sabrosa and hydroponic Camarosa have been planted for the UK; however, some of the end-of-season Festival and Camarosa are expected to go to Norway. The majority of the PS 592 crop is destined for the French market with a small percentage reserved for Holland. As Portugal reaches the end of its season, it will switch to supplying the Spanish home market. In addition to the new tunnels, a new ferti-irrigation system has been installed that will see the whole farm monitored by computer.

Easy Recipe - Strawberry Pie
Since spring is finally here, sort of (it snowed here in Denver on Easter day, sigh), I thought I would share one of my favorite strawberry recipes with you. It is a pretty easy recipe that does not even require any baking. Start to finish, it takes about 20 minutes. As I do at my baking site, I am going to share with you here the story behind the recipe.
Banana Republic
Like a cat I slumber, blissfully unencumbered,
Through eighty per cent of my allotted span,
Occasionally awoken, when dissent is spoken,
And I invent another cunning five year plan,
Lately it was pensions, that were being mentioned,
So I borrowed from the French and Robespierre,
Scrap all that went before, saved by tooth and claw,
And let my all equal Citizens appear,
Currently it is time, for me to be in my prime,
For there is another election looming,
I have to appear sincere, for part of this coming year,
And assure everyone that everything is booming,
Never mind strict quotas, Ive imported multitudes of voters,
And told them which party let them stay,
Though Ive rigged the postal vote, and defamed everyone of note,
You never know what m ...
