A shortage of strawberries for the feast of the summer solstice ?
FJ
All countries raises the question : Will there be enough strawberries for Midsummer ( the celebration of the summer solstice ) ?
Strawberries, fruit - symbol of summer and essential garnish for traditional cakes , risk missing this year. A shortage that would be considered a national disaster.
Farmers warned of a significant decline in production due to adverse weather conditions. The month of May was colder than usual , with only three days above 20 ° C in the south. But especially the month of May was the wettest since 1962 with double the average rainfall . The capital region , Stockholm, had not had such a month of rain for over 2 centuries.
