One thing (among a long list of others), Heath and I really want in our garden is Strawberries. Heath did some more research of varieties and he decided on one called Honeoye. They are a June bearing variety, over winter very well, great for canning and freezing and are known for their vibrant color. If all goes well, we plan on doing lots and lots of canning and freezing! We bought 30 bare root dormant plants and potted them up into none other than red plastic Solo cups.
Here they are about a week after potting them and placing them under our grow lights.
This is three weeks after potting.
Foliage was growing and they were trying to to bloom, so Saturday we decided to get them into the ground.
E was very anxious and willing to help. If you were to ask her on any given day, she would tell you that strawberries are her favorite food.
She did great, and it really is wonderful to see the kids get so excited about growing our own food.
I thought my stir fry and enchiladas were her favorite food :) Love the new blog!
