I spent one afternoon in the sun digging up a patch, mixing in fertiliser, putting plants in the ground, getting my knees dirty. And a few months later, with diligent watering and an awful lot of waiting + dancing around in the garden I was rewarded with strawberries.
I can’t even begin to explain the satisfaction and delight I got out of a growing these.
So yes, Number 94 on The List, Done!
"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that
direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be", said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Don’t let the birds eat them! That’s what happened to ours. Also, your knees look weird. <3
Your face looks weird! And no, I didn’t. I had mesh netting to keep them out, and tin foil on sticks to scare them away :)
Yay!
Super yay! :)
Strawberries are my favorite!! Glad the hard work paid off :)
Me too! I was ridiculously proud, considering how little I did :)
YEAH! That’s AWESOME!!! I tried growing them once and I got a couple of berries, but probably neglected them more than I ought to have and was mostly unsuccessful. Yours are lovely! Are you cooking with any of them?
Watering is the key, I think. I didn’t end up cooking with them. I didn’t have the patience really. Mostly I washed them off and ate them right then + there! :)
