MiT, the text blocks

But first, a picture of the bounty from a couple of days ago. The strawberries are big this year (we've had so much rain), but unfortunately, not very flavorful. I normally only water my strawberries once a week, so the berries stay pretty small but pack a large taste. This year, I've had no control over the amount of water they got.
