Silent Sunday
This entry was posted in Field Notes, My Photos and tagged Fragaria vesca, nature photography, photography, Silent Sunday, wild strawberry. Bookmark the permalink.
We have wild raspberries and blackberries on the way. I may need to make ice cream soon.
Ooh, that sounds so good!
a taste of summer. Enjoy!
Thank you, Ann!
Yum! Hope you get lots!
Thanks, they are plentiful this year.
Yum.
They certainly are! π
Lovely, they’re coming along. From your garden?
These are little wild strawberries growing in our field. While the critters get most of them, the ones I do get, taste delicious!
π
Looks wonderful!! π
Thank you!
Love Strawberries!
with ice cream! π
What thoughts/recommendations do you have for a person who wants to plant a couple strawberry plants and let them go crazy? I’d be happy if they took over, and I’m not interested in the overly large, underwsweet berries we get at the store π
I would buy from a grower that specializes in berries for the best quality plants. They need well-drained soil. I’d use straw mulch to keep them off the ground. Beware of slugs, however. Birds and rodents can be a problem, too. You might try using a special strawberry pot – a clay container with ‘pockets’ in which to plant the strawb. It gives good air circulation and you can keep it on a deck or patio away from critters. You may have to put it in a garage over winter so the pot won’t freeze and crack. I’m glad we have local growers, so I don’t have to worry about growing my own. π But tasting your own fruit is definitely a pleasure!
We found some strawberries while working in the garden this weekend… Tiny but so tasty!
A boon from nature and a delightful find! π
This speaks to me that there is always potential for growth. Needed this today π
Glad to hear it. π Life is constant unfoldment.
Yummy and beautiful. π
Thank you, Robin. They certainly are both!
It’s that strawberry time of year. Love the smell!
They are so delightful and delicious!
June means strawberries. Love them.
Local strawberries are the best – biting into those just-picked, sweet and juicy berries is one of life’s great pleasures!
Yum Yum, I must go down to the allotment to see if we have any!
I hope you have a bowl full!
Mmmm … I’m still working on the delicious nibbles of strawberry rhubarb crisp! I scare Robin fledglings out of my Potager each time I go back there – no doubt eating those strawberries but no worry, plenty to go around!
I just love fresh locally grown strawberries!
This is something we cannot grow here. Very nice!
Thank you, Maria. π
Yikes, I’m TEN days behind on saying hello to my friends! Your berries are so charming. Wild strawberries, huh? I suppose that makes them all the sweeter.
They are plentiful this year, but the critters get all the ripest ones, so I take the more sour just so I get a hint of that great wild flavor. It is the same with the wild blueberriesβ They get to them first!
Our walnut tree is laden with lots & lots of big green fruit(?). I think there’s going to be a showdown between us and the squirrels. Smart money is on the squirrels.
They don’t have our distractionsβ¦but clear focus on one thing: food. They are persistent and cagey, too. They always win around here.
