Big Red Juicy Berries will be ready in 3 to 4 weeks.  I asked Jane Sorensen if they had any problem with the recent frosts.  She told me they started up their irrigation system which works very well to prevent the blossoms from freezing.

Flowers & Plants galore are waiting for customers - Weather is not conducive to a lot of trade today.

Jane Sorensen cranks open the awning to one of the greenhouses.

Below is a photo I took back in 2007 when one of Riverberry's gardeners was checking the berries:
