April is prime strawberry season in the South. Find the best places to pick strawberries and tips to keep them fresh.

April is prime strawberry picking season in the South, and there are lots of U-Pick farms near Atlanta. Once picked, protect the ripe fruit by laying it out in a flat-bottomed tray so they don't crush each other in the U-pick bucket. Be sure to wash the berries just before eating, and not before. Washing strawberries makes them deteriorate faster. Here are a few patches with strawberries ready and waiting to be picked.
