New to gardening, spotted the first strawberry today. I’ve killed so many houseplants over the years, It’s a great feeling to actually have something grow.
@honeyontoast Great job! Another thing you can do is leave out clean water, many fruit thieves are actually thirsty.
That is a great tip, thank you!
Some bird is going to love eating that!
And pooping that. I have an older mulberry and cherry tree and I’ve yet to get to harvest them because I never knew when they were ripe, but the birds sure did.
Ha, most likely! For better for worse the area I live is teeming with wildlife, something will probably have it before I do.
Nice! Strawberries are among my favorite garden plants since they are pretty easy to take care of and the strawberries are SO much more juicer and flavorful than storebought
Fantastic! I too, have been growing some strawberries. We got a elevated planter from Costco a bit ago, and a handful of strawberries from a local nursery and Home Depot.
awww congrats!
Aw, it’s so cute! Congrats! 🍓
hell yeah!
Congratulations on your first harvest! If you find the birds a problem you can always cover them with a net. I use old dried willow sticks to prop my nets up so the birds can’t peck through them.
I might do that, I have some leftover netting from something else that should be able to cover it.
