Did anyone see the Strawberry Full Moon yesterday? If you have a picture, share it in the comments below, we’d love to see it. Why Is It Called the Full Strawberry Moon? June’s full Moontypically the last full Moon of spring or the first of summeris traditionally called the Strawberry Moon.... The tradition of naming Moons is rich in history. Here at The Old Farmer’s Almanac, we have long honored the Native American Moon names and the folklore of those who came before us. We follow the full Moon names that were used during Native American and Colonial times to help track the seasonsusually from the Algonquin tribes who lived in the same areas as the Colonists. The name, Strawberry Moon, originated with Algonquin tribes in eastern North America who knew it as a signal to gather the ripening fruit of wild strawberries. Alternative European names for this Moon include the Honey Moon and the Mead Moon. It has also been called the Rose Moon, given that many roses come to life during this part of the year! Shared from the Farmers Almanac.

And by the light of the full moon we finished raking our last row of berry plants. The next full moon will be the strawberry full moon on June 5th. It will be berry time before we know it!

It’s that time of year to wake up those sleeping babies.

I had a very special little strawberry come knocking on my door tonight. . Happy Hallowe’en!
