Until now, I've never had a place even at this house with all it's corner niches and my ample yard space. But The Marshmallow has been working on our side yard for a few weeks and he made me a fairly decent sized bed for the strawberries and I am so excited.
A good friend was thinning out her strawberry bed and told me I could come take some of hers and so today I showed up with trowel and gloves and went to work. I didn't think I was taking as many as I did but when I got home to plant them, I realized that it won't take long for these to overtake my bed but that's okay. I'd rather it be sooner than later that I have to start thinning. Then I'll have some to give away too!
We have too much in common! It's crazy! I am in the middle of strawberries right now. I've been working on freezer jam all evening.
ReplyDeleteAnd we've cleared off a spot in our garden to plant strawberries next weekend. I'm a little bummed that it will take so long to get fruit from them but I know I'll be glad next summer.
I can't WAIT for next year's crop! That's funny about the strawberry jam you're making - I made so much this year it's totally coming out of my ears. But it's so good - that ton of sugar with the taste of strawberry. Mmmm! hope you're ready for those runners to get in every place! They spread so fast!
ReplyDeleteI love strawberries! I grow them around my fountain in back but the birds eat them all up before I get a chance to do anything with them.
