I finally managed to spring clean the entire long raised bed. This is where I currently have raspberries, strawberries and garlic planted. Next I need to add some straw in between to stop more weeds from growing.
I also managed to build a quick support for the raspberries. I need to eventually cut and remove all the dead branches from last year, but I will that a bit later after I can tell for sure what is dead and what is alive.
The first strawberry fruit of the season
This is the second handful, a few days later.
These are the very first strawberries that ripened. They were delicious!
As I was weeding and watering the strawberries - I noticed that a few were already ready for picking…
The fruit of the labor..
We have been getting a bowl of strawberries every 2 - 3 days or so. They are sweet and delicious.
Not as large as the store bought ones, but most definitely better tasting. Maybe because we grew them.
