Original Toronto Star caption: Strawberry picking - it's so berry wonderful. Jim Forsyth of Forsyth Farms finds a prize - a ripe; red strawberry ready to pluck. The berries are ripening earlier and faster this year because of the unusually hot weathe rand pick-your-own farms in the Metro area have plenty to sell. Call the Ontario Berry Information Hotline at 1-800-268-7408 daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for picking conditions.

Berry picker, If you are lucky enough to know friends who live in the country, or have lush berry bushes, do plead with them to go out picking. It's fun and it's healthy
