The strawberries are in. The first 10 at least. Im hoping to get maybe a few more. The 10 I got almost filled the place I had for them, two more would complete the area. To many more may not grow too well. I don’t want them too crowded.
if you look closely, you can see the beginnings of a few strawberries
Home Depot has a wonderful sale going on this week, Bonnie garden plants 5/$10 so with fresh home grown strawberries in mind, I nabbed 10.
We have a wonderful high raised garden bed just outside the kitchen that we grew a small patch of edibles last year that will be perfect for berries.
While I have grander plans for strawberries that includes building of gutters into elaborate shapes it just isnt in the budget this year.
Neither is straw gardens or the “perfect” raised bed so along with the strawberries I got some garden landscape timber (also on sale at Home Depot) and compost to liven up the dirt.
Today will be spent getting fingers dirty, garden areas figured out for this year, strawberries planted and starters started.
