Strawberries are THE quintessential fruit of springtime.   We enjoyed these with just a drizzle of heavy cream. Yum!

I planted 6 strawberry plants spring 2023, but they didn’t really get much traction during their first year; the few strawberries that they produced got eaten by birds or slugs. This year, with the help of  anti-bird netting and a slug trap filled with beer, they have come into their own. We have enjoyed  a number of meals so far, and more on the way.  Being new to the gardening game, I still get a big kick out of any little success that comes along.
