The strawberry story

Last year I ordered 20 strawberry plants and planted them underneath two trees. I tried to cover them with netting, to no avail. The rabbits ate them, the squirrels dug them, and the trees sucked the life out of them. I rescued five remaining plants and put them in pots. Then in the late summer, I planted them in my fenced garden area, mulched them for winter, and hoped for the best. It worked! The plants are growing so well that I'll remove some daisies I planted to fill in the space. The plants are sending out runners, and we have enough fruit for a tasty treat. Yay and yum!
