Thank you Beverly for the nice words. By the way your garden companions are very similar to mine, except for the cat(I'm catless at the moment). The jam looks yummy!

Hi Beverly, I like your garden companions, I have rabbits too but they eat everything thats good....right now they are on my hate list....especially when I went out to look at my cabbage plants, they look like they have been mowed!
Your Strawberries look yummy!
Love, Ann
