Been out of town for a few days for The Wedding of The Century ™ in Portland, Maine. My most heartfelt Mazel Tovs to Manda and Eric – a stellar couple of ultra-fine individuals. I’d post photos, but the happy couple is offline celebrating for the next couple of weeks, and it’s not my wedding to post.

But let’s get to why you’re really here. Rapidly deteriorating berries.

As you can see, the strawberries are doing about as expected one week in. The unprotected batch is pretty mushy, which is hard to determine from the photo. The two bagged sets are firm, but the non-green bag set is slightly moldier.

Spoke to Mom last night who huffed and asked if the bags were officially sanctioned for strawberry storage, as if I were setting them up to fail. Oh yeah, Mom? Well, they have pictures of strawberries on their Web site. Who’s the loser now?

She suggests (though she’ll deny it) that I try lettuce next, as she’s had great success with greens. Now, to decide whether to do a whole head of lettuce in each array, or just a few leaves from the same head…

The excitement. It overwhelms.
