Strawberries!

| May 14, 2015

This year we planted our garden. We did learn a lot from last year’s experience, about what did well and what didn’t. What gets HUGE and what got smothered by more aggressive plants. So we planned accordingly and planted our garden. I wasn’t planning on trying strawberries again this year since last year we got none, but Sam was insistent for some reason so I bought a strawberry plant. I netted it this year to try to keep out the many critters we have in our yard (I suspect that is why we got no fruit last year). Sam was super excited that we got two tiny strawberries that were red and ready to pick.

Our first two strawberries! Tiny, but definitely perfect!
