Strawberries!!!!
These are Chandler strawberries. A genius that was cultivated in Southern California (USA) for the warmer climates, because strawberries prefer cooler climates of the northern part of USA. Strawberries grow wild in Wisconsin were I'm from, but here in Texas, they burn quickly - as most non-native plants do.
The berries are not very big and are being eaten by birds and rabbits. I really don't mind. This is more of a nostalgia plant. Something to tether me to my roots back home.
These specific plants were in a plant tower for 2 years. But last autumn, they were beginning to look stressed. So, I made a knee-jerk reaction to put them into the ground. I quickly found a spot, added a compost mound and stuck them in last October. I also added straw and covered them with a tarp a few times when we had a hard frost forecasted.
Despite not having large berries, I can't but help love on he size off the leaves! The flowers have been beautiful too - the pollinators seemed to have love them. I'm hoping to get runners - I let them go to root and fingers crossed, I can double the size of the bed in the next year or two just with runners.
Here's to letting nature just be nature.

Veggie & herb season 2022 has begun! Spent the day at an epic organic farm & market, wanted to buy 1 (one) tomato plant, bought two (cherry tomatoes, one yellow, one red), plus a physalis, basil and rosemary. Let鈥檚 see how the baby plants like their new home. Bumblebee visited the lilac and was very pleased.
