Strawberry Patch

Last spring, we planted 50 strawberry plants in the flower bed in our backyard. They grew pretty well, but they only produced about 5 strawberries. This spring, however, they provided us with an abundance. We were able to pick 15-20 strawberries a day for about two weeks, and they were so good. Often, I would look outside and see Isabel with a handful/mouthful. The chipmunks and squirrels enjoyed them, too.

The kids enjoyed harvesting:

Some of the fruits of our labor:The strawberries are gone now, but our patch is thickening up. These plants reproduce like crazy! Hopefully, the next tenants will enjoy them as much as we have.
