This has to be one of my favorite days of the year...the day in which we fret over who is stepping where and on what, the day where we feel perplexed and always entertain another addition to the garden ( for which there has been something added on every year for the past three years), and the day where I feel such gratitude for even having the ability to plant our own garden.
I do have a couple things on my wish list, though...one of these , because my husband gets a little tired of looking at compost through a clear Pyrex bowl, and the other is extra indoor space to start my seeds indoors. I'd love to be pushing our own little plants into the dirt knowing they grew up in our house, but then again, I'm a sentimental kind of gal.
...and now you have to take a peek at something I have always wanted...a strawberry patch:
Ever since I was little I have always wanted my own strawberry patch. This picture of heaven is the result of three little plants two summers ago...seriously. Last summer it was about half that size, growing enough berries for the girls to eat from while out playing, and for us to pick a small bowl to split up after dinner each evening. But this year, this year we may each get our own bowl after dinner each evening. Rock on.
I'll still be driving out to this joint ( my local fave) to pick enough strawberries for freezing.
Where does your family go for berry picking in the summer months?
Tell us when you go strawberry picking! We would LOVE to tag along!!!
