It was my dad's birthday last week, which in our family is the indicator that strawberries will be ready soon.
I kind of forgot about the strawberry patch I planted last year, west of the orchard directly into the grass. Mostly because you can't see it from the tall grass. 😅
We were out of town for the weekend and our neighbor did chores for us. Right before we left, G noticed some bright red berries in the patch, and he told her that she could pick them for herself. She did pick them! However, instead of eating them herself, she froze them for us. How sweet!
There were a lot more than I anticipated!
I recently read that rosemary is a companion plant for strawberries, increasing their flavor and fertility. I have a couple rosemary plants I plan to add to the patch hopefully this week. Stay tuned if we notice a difference afterwards!
