This is representative of our daily haul from the garden at the moment. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I may be reaching my fill of strawberries and raspberries for the year.

"Still Life with Strawberries and Nuts," Raphaelle Peale, 1822.
Peale (1774-1825) was the son of painter Charles Willson Peale and perhaps America's first professional painter of still lifes. He started doing portraits with his father and siblings, and sometimes miniatures, but later became a taxidermist for a museum founded by his father.
However, the arsenic and mercury he was exposed to while doing taxidermy ended up giving him serious health problems. He abandoned miniatures and portraits and did nothing but still lifes, which until then had been viewed as something for students and amateurs. His skill and attention to detail gave legitimacy to a scorned genre of painting.
He died at the age of 51, reportedly after a night of heavy drinking, but it's now viewed that his destroyed health caught up with him. Now he is viewed by a number of critics as the most talented of the Peale brothers.

Never knew that strawberries have four sets of chromosomes (making them octoploid, instead of diploid like us) or that they are the result of hybridization of four species.

Went strawberry 🍓 picking, but the field was pretty much picked, so we observed what you could and sampled some little ones... Danced in a field on our way there #dancing #strawberrymoon #strawberry #strawberryseason #strawberries #strawberrypicking

Over the weekend I built a 12-foot raised bed for strawberries using rotted cedar boards I had to rip off my deck. Currently growing Merlan, Ozark Beauty, and an alpine with no name. June-bearing Camarosas going in soon. #GrownYourOwn #strawberries #garden #gardening #fruit #woodworking
