Strawberries!

I learned a big lesson with the first crop of ripened berries. While watering the berries in the morning, I saw five deep red strawberries. Before I could harvest them, the birds had an opportunity to visit the crop before I did. All that was left were green stems. This time, I prepared myself with nets and was able to enjoy my strawberries. Sweet, tasty, fragrant, full of life. It was wonderful.

The strawberries that are growing are organic, everbearing Quinault. This variety is a quick producer, 4-5 weeks, with good quality fruit. Virtually no runners are produced, making it a good choice for pots.
