What's up at home today...?

Nice flowers. I'm thinking I might copy the hanging planters idea.

Strawberries looking good Going out to put some straw between the berries before another storm hits

 

 

Strawed!

 

Looking healthy. 

We had to throw a lot of fruits away. Too much rain ruined them.

My sister's method for keeping the strawberries off the ground.....
 

That's like wild strawberries! She's a genius!!!

Please ask her if she has any suggestions for about 300 plants

Yesterday we made 14 jars of strawberry jam, with strawberries from the market. They were 6 Lei/ kg and 1 Euro is almost 5 Lei. They looked great, not as good as the ones from the garden, but for 8 Euro you get to make 14 jars (+1 for immediate consumption). Let's say 3 more Euro is the sugar, because we usually add 2/3 of sugar to the quantity of fruit. I would need more money to buy 3 jars of strawberry jam from the supermarket. That's like 500% cheaper

Some are getting to white color Not a ripe one yet...

 

But the wild strawberries on Saturday..

 

And 212g today
