These beauties will turn into wonderful strawberries in about two months time. I can't wait. Last year the plants were stunted becuase I had to transplant them late. I was terribly sad about the fact that we only got a handful of berries after the plants produced baskets and baskets full. This year looks good so far.
Every week this garden gets more full and taller and I am just loving it. I added the prayer flags from under the patio due to us getting a new grill and fire hazzard. Then I added the bird house Alex made me. I LOVE it out there.

Your blog is lovely, your children beautiful, and your choice of quotes, perfect! Love Jamie, and Clare, all of the Outlander books!
Love and light to you, new friend.

PS Diana Gabaldon is a wonderful author. I just got HellFire (the one about Lord John) from the library. Can't wait to see what she does with the character. ;)
I saw your comment on my blog. I have been way too busy to write. So much going on. We move house this week (where we will have the most fantastic garden - I can't wait to get to work in it...when I find time, lol.) We were in Spain last week (see AW for all related updates on that one...) and my felt exhibit is in a couple weeks and I am so not ready for it. Busy??? Who, me?????????? oi!
The garden looks absolutely beautiful!!! Love the prayer flag & bird house, can't wait to see what you do with the soon to be strawberries!
Katie, THANK YOU! I think your yard is pretty great too. ;) I have been thinking that you and I should read the same book and compare notes. Right now I am reading "Extreme Simplicity; Homesteading in the City" I am LOVING it. Not all of it can be used (or even wanted too... sorry, but I never thought about the idae of giving up my grass completely), but, in the spirit of the book I looked at the pic of your yard and saw places for all sorts of fruit trees, a chicken coop, all sorts of stuff... not that you need to do any of this... but seeing the true potential of ones land is fun. :D Would you email me your address? I will drop that book in the mail for you (Fast Food Nation) when I go to the po next time.
Strawberries are pretty easy to grow, aren't they? I'll have try that next year.
