Strawberries: One for you, one for me
Thursday, May 08, 2008
I wasn't kidding when I said we'd have our first pick of strawberries today. Here they are in all their glory -- the first two fruits from our new garden.
There are just two so far: one for Michael, one for me. It's only enough to whet our appetites for more. The next berries can't ripen soon enough.

Very jealous. Here in Seattle we are just at the stage where we have plenty of flowers and green buds of fruit. Patience, patience.....
Congratulations on your new edible babies! Mine are still green, but growing up here in Manhattan =)
Oh how I wish I weren't allergic to strawberries!
I am so jealous. I wish I could grow strawberries. I used to be able to until a chipmunk moved in. He would pick the strawberry and take one bite before it was ripe. Then he would do it to ALL the other ones. I never got a ripe strawberry. I tried caging them in, but then the air wouldn't get to them as well and they would die from various fungal diseases. I so miss my "real" strawberries.
Jealous here too - I get awful migraines from strawberries, but I'm growing them for the rest of the family...all mine are still tiny plants though!
How have you got them so early, Christa? I'm totally impressed and amazed.
Those berries are glorious. I wrote about my planting Chandler strawberries on my blog recently.
Yum.

How do you do.
I hope to see blog.

Has anyone been tracking the effects of global waring on their garden?
I have seen less birds visiting, more of the worng sorts of insects - notably less bees. As well as this a lot more wind and considerably less rain.
Yummy!! Hope you get more of them so you can make strawberry short cakes, like last year.
Your garden looks great.
Bravo! Were they delicious as they look?
They look great! I am hopeful about our strawberries this year and I'm planting 40 more plants. One of these years I hope to enjoy strawberry bounty like you!
Can I have the third? :)

That is so early! even my greenhouse ones are just green and small at the moment, I'm jealous.
At least you have two to share. The first ones are the sweetest to me.
I am also very jealous~ Lucky you! :) Enjoy ~and that is a mouth~watering capture! :D
Have a beautiful weekend!

Mine are just blooming...
Yours look great and I bet, they taste great, much better than the tasteless strawberries from Spain they sell here on the market..
oww.. great feeling, isn't it?
You inspire me - maybe I will plant strawberries next year...
Greetings,
Ewa
nice one...nothing better eh!
Just found your blog. I don't know which is more beautiful: your prose or your photographs. I am in in the Pacific Northwest like VB and I too am jealous! Keep writing and inspiring the rest of us L)
Oh! that's lovely
Lovely! I find tons of itty bitty strawberries growing wild in my garden. Somebody, not sure whether he or she is bird, mammal, or insect, eats them all.
