We planted strawberries last year and they turned out very well. There is nothing better during the summer than a strawberry shortcake, that's for sure!
Hi Saucy, So good to "see" you! I do enjoy the strawberries from the backyard. I also hope you have some already growing. With in a few years you will have your new gardens brimming with berries and flowers. Maybe a Hummingbird garden would be fun?! Happy New Home! Sherry
Hi French Nest, Thanks. I like flowers and do not feel as If I have very many right now. I am being careful not to cut for the house. I do spend almost all of my daylight hours outside anyway. I need some flowers on my desk, night table and the kitchen table. I don't need huge bouquets just one at each spot keeps me in fine spirits. When my children were young I had a huge strawberry patch. From the first of June until middle of July I would pick 100 plus berries every morning. The kids would have strawberries for breakfast and we had strawberry shortcake for dessert most nights. The gardens do change over time and those plants finally gave out. I am growing an Heirloom variety now. They flower and set berries all season long. Sherry Sherry
Hi Sheila, LOL!! Yes, we know... I think if I want one or two berries I will need to pick before fully ripe. My husband's concern is that I will buy berries for the birds if we do not have enough! Sherry

We won't have any strawberries until July at least. I think there may be a small patch of them in my new backyard. Here's hoping! xoxoxo
Ohhh those Painted Daisies!!
And as to who will get the strawberries? Mmm, I bet on the birds. >,-)

Hi Mari-Nanci,
The Painted Daisies are dependable!
I like daisies of all sorts.
I too have a hunch the birds will get the berries.
