    Beautiful! Do strawberries ripen a bit more after you pick them? In your basket I spot some not-really-red ones, and now I’m wondering whether I should start picking mine as well.

    (edit: on second thought, it might be the photo and/or my laptop screen… But I guess the question still stands.)

    Ahhh I had a strawberry plant going absolutely ham, and then we hit a drought and a hose ban, and I don’t have water stored up here to water them with… so no ripe strawberries for me! I hope the local birds can still enjoy them.

      Bummer. Same here. Mine are undersized. I don’t irrigate often and have been putting my energy into newly planted trees/shrubs. I want to make sure they survive while it’s dry. Maybe next year I can get some strawberries.
