Sundae, you'd love it here on the Oxnard plain. Strawberries are our specialty, the number one earner crop. We get an early crop about early February and the main crop lateish June.
Strawberries recently beat out citrus, which was our used-to-be. In World War Two we alleviated a labor shortage during harvesting -- a long season -- by employing German POWs to harvest the lemons and oranges. I've seen the German-language manual of instructions in the county museum.
