This is my first year trying to grow strawberries and here is one of the first ones, and it was very, very sweet :)

I wanted to grow strawberries, but did the tomatoes in the topsy turvey instead. I'll probably do strawberries next year.

Eric, maybe when they start to really bloom.


Donna what I am growing them in is in the topsy turvey strawberry bag, and I also have the tomato one, but no tomatoes yet :) :)

George,


I'll take two dozen mashed, pored over a light sponge cake! Please. Pretty please.


Oh please chill it then cover with surgerless wipe cream.


Bill

I LOVE strawberries anyway I can get them.  Yummie


Go for it.


Patricia Aulson

Well that is really Picture Perfect!! Beautiful!

Mmmm, looks really tasty. How do you like the topsy turvey things?  

Hey, George. It looks like your berries did better than mine. I lost all mine to the squirrels (go figure). Take care, Jim

George, I bet this strawberry tasted extra good because you grew it:) What's your next project?:)

WooHoooo!  Yummmmyyyyy!

Bill I would be happy to do that for you as soon as the plants start produce enough for me to do so :)


Patricia, I can't believe how sweet these little guys are right off the plant.


Mara, thank you :)


Marianne, so far I like it.  It is real easy to water the plants since they are right out on my deck, and the plants are really beginning to grow.  I should have bought two.


Jim I have squirrels around here two, but so far they have left the few that have grown alone.


Joanna yes it did, and the next thing is for the tomatoes to start to grow.


Sally, I could not have said it better ...... LOL

How many megapixels on your camera? Great picture... nice composition, good contrast of colors, and very creative point of view! Your photograph makes me want to rush out and buy strawberries.

( 06/28/09 09:23PM ) — George Souto

Margo this camera is now 5 to 6 years old, and it has 5 megapixels.  Glad you enjoyed the picture.

Ymmm -- I love strawberries... this one is perfect!

Grorge - I've been growing strawberries this year also. The first one I picked was so sour.

George, oh, that looks so good! I was going to try and grow a tomato upside down, but hubby put them all in the ground, LOL. I am still working on the mulberries!

George,


Is this one of those strawberry trees?  Mine will not grow on the deck...;-)

Joan he sure tasted good :)


Robert, so far the few that I have gotten have all been good, and I would expect them to start coming in faster and bigger as the summer goes on.


Andrea, the mulberries that you posted a picture of looked great to me.


Ann these started to produce right away.  I can never grow anything so I am surprise at the early success that I have had with these so far.

George, do they run out of water sooner than the pots? Can you tell?

( 06/29/09 07:31PM ) — George Souto

Marianne, I have never grown Strawberries or tomatoes in pots before so I don't know if these hold water better or not.  I do water them everyday unless it rains.

Thanks.
