A photographic look at life in Jackson, Mississippi and the surrounding area
Strawberry Plant
One of my colleagues at work gave me about 10 strawberry plants. They seem to have taken well to my garden, they have plenty of blooms and even a few berries are developing. I can't wait to taste the fruits of my labor!
The beginning of a small strawberry field, no doubt. Do strawberries want lots of direct sunlight or a more shielded position in the garden? I'm more of a consumer and haven't got a clue about gardening really... ;)
I actially planted these in a balcony flowerbox container. I wasn't sure where I wanted them in the garden so I temporarily put them there. So I think you could grow them even in an apt, as long as you have a balcony.
I don't really know what they need! I guess a lot of sun since most flowering, fruit-bearing plants do need the sun for their photosynthesis. They seem to like where they are now (it's a little shady but gets alot of evening sun), so I'm not going to move them. :)
Greetings from Nashville! I wanted to let you know I stopped by and have been enjoying your photos!

Yum! Strawberries are my favorite berry.
Nothing like a freshly picked strawberry. Yummy. Looks like your plants are doing really well.
Wow. It looks like you are in for a nice treat later on. I find my rabbits also like strawberries so I seldom get any.
As for me, well I spent the day up and down, crawling around, bending over, and digging holes and planted 9 new flowers.
I think they looked nice and should look great in a few weeks.
I have enjoyed your blog.
You're lucky, I'd love to have a small garden and be able to grow strawberries as well!
We have a few plants, they always get real little strawberrys then die off. You look like you have a great start.

Not moving them sounds like a wise approach! :)
Very pretty plants...and there's nothing nicer than eating food you've grown yourself!
