There is nothing so sweet as a fresh picked strawberry, so when I saw those little white flowers start to bloom in mid April, I couldn't wait. I've fertilized with the fish/seaweed fertilizer I've been using about every other week. The strawberries ended up getting so heavy I had to build little stands for the stems to rest on, to keep the berries out of the dirt. You can see it in the fourth picture down, if you aren't too distracted by your pining over the berry itself. I got to taste the first strawberry this morning, May 15th. I haven't decided what's more rewarding, a fresh picked strawberry on a spring morning or a tomato on a hot summer's night. Check back in July.
