OH, BABY!! I AM IN HEAVEN!!!
Last year we planted a strawberry patch on the side of our house. We were told to pick off all the blossoms so the plants could grow strong that first year planted. I was so sad. I wanted stawberries that year. SOOO this year rolls around and about a week ago I saw strawberries starting to grow. I got so excited and told Keith we had strawberries coming. I couldn't wait to eat the first bright red strawberry of the season. Well, as I was waiting for that one strawberry to be ready to eat, Keith beat me to the punch, ate it and then told me how good it was. He didn't know I was waiting to eat it myself. My disapointment didn't last long though, I got my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh strawberry of the season today. AND THEY TASTED SOOOOO YUMMY!!! There is nothing like eating frest out of the garden strawberries!! I can't wait to make jam and have desserts with my strawberries, that is if they make it to the kitchen before I eat them all.

I've never grown strawberries before. I'm glad your plants are "fruitful"!
Dang that makes me jealous, we cannot do a garden this year because we are in the process of building a shed right next to our garden plot. But my neighbor has a really nice big strawberry patch and it's just her and her hubby so maybe she will share!
Jeff and I planted a garden last year (no strawberries though). But, after one year, Jeff was through with gardens. Every time we tended to the garden last summer, he just kept reminiscing about how many weeds his parents forced him to pull up growing up... maybe if we plant some strawberries, his attitude about gardens will change.
Yum!! I need to get out and plant my garden but what a chore that is lol.
