Sampling of my strawberry patch

You lucky thing ahving space in your garden for your own patch. I suppose we have space but i don't think they'd grow very well. Think of me next time you pick and eat a few fresh, there's nothing quite like munching on freshly picked strawberries still warm and sweet from the sun!

I just absolutely love strawberries and I can not remember the last time I had fresh right from the garden. Neither one of us is all that healthy although my husband could make an effort to plant some, but the biggest thing is we would't get much of it anyway. We had a nice little garden, I loved it but I did the watering and weeding and the neighbours did the picking. The next year I suggested we dig them a spot in our yard and that could be their garden. They accepted that and planted their stuff so I thought OH GREAT. Well they never pulled a weed and still took our stuff so I said that's it. We can buy fresh veggies at the farmers market for cheaper than we can grow it. I'd much rather have my own though. You do such lovely gardening. You must have good neighbours or perhaps none?

That looks so good! I only have one strawberry plant and it has only produced two strawberries. It's sad really, but I am hoping that next year will be better.

Well if any are ready Friday you should bring a few Tyler would be so happy. He so loves strawberries. Hes finishing up the ones we went to pick now.

The only strawberries I had lately were in a nutri grain bar. I love strawberries. We got some fruit ice bars and they were strawberry flavor and had real strawberry chunks in them.

Apparantly I've had loads of strawberries this year, but they are growing outside the caravan that the kids use as their lego centre so they tend to get snaffled straight from the plant by small strawberry lovers. We have our first blueberries ripening just now. Just one or two each evening, which we share out and savour. I'm really looking forward to getting a larger crop in the future. They're delicious.

You are so lucky Bob. I love strawberries and tried to grow them a few years back. After battling the birds to keep away from them and the lack of sun, I gave up.

Hi GRANDPA BOB! Wow, so many berries and I am sure you are going to enjoy picking them up. I know I will be very excited if I have that strawberry garden. save some for me. haha.. Take care and God Bless!

Sadly, all I have is two early girl tomato plants. Between my online writing, this place, my mom coming for a few months and some part time work I've had precious little time to plant. I imagine it'll be different next year when we'll all probably have to plant in order to eat. Enjoy your harvest!

hi Grandpa Bob alas my strawberries have to come from Vons as I have no garden. You should have enough for a feast really soon. we get mammothe strawberries here in Ca but although they are ripe they really are not as sweet as the 'smaller ones we used to grow on the farm. I have found though if you keep these ca grown ones in the fridge for a few days they do seem to get sweeter. lol

Maybe since its so hot here and no rain mine aren't doing as great as yours but i do have some coming up and did get to eat one today..love it when its free from your own garden! Thanks for showing us yours!

You wouldn't be able to beat my husband out of that patch with a stick. He loves strawberries. The only berries we have are bluebarries.

I do not have a patch but I took the little tike to the local strawberry patch and she ate more then she picked. She looked pretty guilty with all those jucies running down her face. We had a great time and we did come home with a bucket full. Your's look great!
