Title: Strawberries Will Be Late This Year
Post by: Henry on June 10, 2011, 07:00:50 AM

Well, usually there are a few strawberries for my sister's birthday on June 15th.  Drove over to Riverberry yesterday and the young people in the greenhouse told me they expect picking to start around July 4th.

We HAD 2 almost ripe strawberries in our patch at home yesterday (until I showed them to my 2 yr old who LOVES strawberries).

From our 10 plants we've had a total of 4 strawberries, two of which got eaten by animals (birds?).  I put netting over them a couple days ago.  This is the first year we've grown strawberries, and I just planted the plants a couple weeks ago, so I have no previous experience growing them.

Corn comes up to slightly below the ankle - It is going to have to grow some to be knee high by the 4th of July
