Strawberries! Strawberries EVERYWHERE!
They started out so small and innocent, my strawberry plants.
They were just tiny things, little stalks (not even fully-formed plants) that I stuck in the ground in one tiny little corner of my largest garden patch. I’ve got three patches, you see; one large one (that gets the most sun) and two smaller ones that flank our patio door. I stuck some asparagus over there, too, and largely ignored it—it takes three years for the stuff to grow to edibility, but I was happy to wait.
I wasn’t too sure about the strawberries. I’d never tried to grow them before, but adore them immensely. The asparagus is lovely, too; I have fond memories of eating freshly-picked asparagus out of my grandparents’ garden when I was very small. Peas were my favorite, but asparagus was up there too. Yes, I was totally an odd child.
