Just wanted to share a quick post that the strawberries I've actually grown are starting to come in!  Yesterday, I was able to get my first bowlful of ripe berries!

I planted them in raised beds this year, covered with a little wire.  I hope to get enough for some pies and my favorite freezer jam!😃

Oh no!  I hadn't even considered mice!  Yikes!😳

It's has been YEARS since I had a decent strawberry.   All we get are the white, pithy, bred-to-ship variety.  Nobody raises them locally.

@cheriere  Just beautiful! There's nothing like eating a sun-warmed strawberry right off the plant. The flavor is second to none! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

@cheriere  Wow! Those are such beautiful and big strawberries, Cheriere!   Those will be delicious as pies and jam and you can even make a strawberry syrup to put in lemonade or on ice cream sundaes! Go Cheriere- you're a girl of many talents!   I love these photos that you take- I feel like I'm right there viewing your plants and nature discoveries. Oooh now I want to make strawberry pies!
