There is nothing like the sweet flavor of a strawberry! It is such a popular flavor in our society that you can actually get almost anything with the wonderful flavor of a strawberry. Not all strawberry flavoring is what it seems, but that is a topic for another blog…this one focuses on what I just picked from my garden!
A strawberry blossom is a very beautiful and amazing looking flower, particularly after a rain…
Strawberry flower – the beginning…
As they develop, and putting the imagination into motion, one can just imagine the sweet flavors that which will be forthcoming…
Forming strawberry
As the days wind from one to another and one finds themselves waiting for the results of sunshine against fruit, one sometimes finds a surprise in the strawberry patch!
The Devil eating my strawberries
However, today was the day for taking a container that holds 2 3/4#’s of strawberries out to the garden! So, you might be asking yourself, “Was she able to fill it after Fox Face had her fill?” Well, as I picked, I tossed the ones that were too ripe out of the garden fencing, and actually only picked from the outside perimeter. There must be over 200 plants, and I barely touched what was there. And, yes, the container was more than full; it was overflowing! Look at these gems…
First crop of strawberries
After I came in, I called a neighbor so that I could offer her the opportunity to pick strawberries for jam, when the dog broke out in a chorus of song. My husband told me it was because Fox Face was back eating what I had thrown outside the garden fence! Amazing! But I have to ask you, who could resist these strawberries that have the aroma of cotton candy and are dripping with sweet juices?
Sweet, sweet strawberries!

Cocktails at 5:00 Christine! See you then!
It’s 5:00 somewhere! How about now?
😦 At work at the moment!
Girl, I guess I should have one for you. UGH!
Oh – I suppose that you should!
Great post. Good luck w/ the fox. At least it has good taste.
Thank you! I am thinking of putting chicken wire around the entire vegetable garden. Thanks too for the comment!
We built a full wire frame around (and under) some of the beds. The gophers, moles, bunnies and wood rats were robbing us blind. It is a bit of a fuss to do, but it does work and it lasts for years.
Thanks for the suggestion!
WOW! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing! cheers!
Thank you for visiting! Cheers to you too!
Nice red strawberries. Looks as though your critters didn’t get them all yet. With the weather warming up it’s time for some strawberry daiquiris, or colladas, yum!!!
