Little juicy red heart shaped piece of hope
Our square foot garden is planted (post to follow another time). I cheaped out frugally stayed budget savvy this year and planted just about everything from seed. However, time crept up on me and I didn't get them started inside like I wanted. Point is, everything is really tiny.

This is huge! That is why this little strawberry is now called my 'little juicy red heart shaped piece of hope!' And see the red thing behind it? It is it's little sister. We'll call her 'ray of sunshine'.
And look, they brought along their little friends! welcome friends, welcome.

Just stumbled upon your blog via a friend, and come to find out....I think we live very close to each other. Crazy. I've been wanting to start a garden, but am unfamiliar with this climate and really know little about gardening. Perhaps more gardening posts soon!?
ReplyDeleteWe SFG, too!
ReplyDeleteI love spring!
ReplyDeleteJust to be on the safe side, you might want to cover your strawberries with some cheesecloth or bird netting--or the birds might enjoy the berries before you get a chance to!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I can't wait for our strawberries to come! So exciting. :)
ReplyDeleteI recently bought our first strawberry plants and I'm transplanting them tonight. I can't wait for my own little "piece of hope!"
