My favorite fruit has always been strawberries, so naturally I grow them at home. I grew up with them in my garden and remember eating them all summer as a child. I loved picking them fresh and having a little treat right there without having to go inside. Strawberry is my favorite flavor in most candies and flavored drinks, etc. I love it!
Two years ago I planted 5 strawberry plants in my back yard and they have spread to about a 4 ft. by 12 ft. area. We already have tons of strawberries, and now my kids love to go out and pick them. Nothing better on a hot summer day, or an extremely rainy summer day in our case this year, than fresh strawberries from the garden!
Yummy! Do you make homemade jam with them? I love homemade jam! It's the only kind I will eat. We need to get together sometime...
ReplyDeleteYes, perhaps while I am down, we can get together and play. We get there on Friday and come home Monday afternoon. So I will see what we are up to and give you a call if we have a time we can get together.
ReplyDeleteI remember strawberries growing in the front of the old house on Lazon...course I was all of three years old, I could be wrong? I am so jealous of your garden!
ReplyDeleteBrace yourself because my kids will eat them ALL when we come this summer!
