I'm excited...
...because I will have a strawberry to pick in the next couple of days. I have never grown strawberries before and am so pleased that this plant has so many strawberries on it. The first crop of fruit was eaten my some mystical creature/animal in the night!! I don't know what the creature was but it only ate the strawberries and not the stalks or any other part of the plant. I have moved the plant closer to the back door behind a fence in order to keep it protected from harm. I know it sounds like I'm a bit pathetic being so excited about a strawberry plant but we have had such a bad summer with none of our vegetables producing fruit for us. The only ones to benefit from the plants will be the chooks when they are let lose in the garden this coming weekend. I will keep you posted on the strawberry plants progress.

Jude the strawberries look divine!!! At my last house...i had two 12x12 foot patches of strawberries...we had buckets and buckets. this will be the first year without fruit from our own garden.
while in the new house...we will plant maybe blueberry bushes and strawberries in planters...then a whole bunch of veggies!!!
glad to see you about!!!
