Pineberry Plants Going In

Tweet

These are a fun type of strawberry called Pineberry (white strawberry), and many think they are unripe but that is the color they are when ripe. They need a buddy, so we have both red and white strawberries mixed and already a bunch of runners and tiny strawberries are forming. When they are ripe, they are pale white with red seeds. Since they are white, birds overlook them. We still have to fight the wild bunnies, so these are in tall raised wooden planters. Washington has a lot of wild strawberries but you rarely get to pick them with all the critters getting to them first. These white variety are from South American and brought back into popularity in recent years. Other than planting our roses, jasmine, fig/apple/ and cherry trees, Irish moss, mums and a few other plants and trees, these are the first of anything edible. Still a lot to get done but feels so nice to see a bit of landscaping beginning. On the 17th, I go to get stitches out and mentioned I will pick up a couple tomato and peppers. My son gave me the look since he has about 20 inside growing in the hdro-whatever it's called thing and he needs to transplant outside. Do you have a garden yet?
