My First Strawberry

Strawberry
Strawberry
I love strawberries, fresh from the plant, with cream, or just on their own, it doesn't matter much I love them so much.

So you can imagine my delight this morning when I looked out the window and saw my first strawberry ready to eat. I've been watching the flower grown and blossom for a couple of weeks, and the last week has been agonizing watching the fruit grow and progressively change from green to pink, to red.

I planted my strawberries a lot later than some friends and my first batch of seeds didn't take but the second batch from a few weeks ago has. I think I'll have a handful of strawberries to eat in the next week but then I might have to wait another 2-3 weeks before I get another batch.

The photo you see here is the strawberry as I saw it this morning. Isn't is glorious. I can't wait to taste it but I might leave it till tomorrow before I pick it.

    Mmm, I love strawberries. We go picking at the local farm every strawberry season. I want to grow my own organic strawberries. =)

    Sounds great, lets hope you get to eat a few strawberries along the way.
