I haven’t tasted a wild strawberry in decades… But I still have a fugitive nose/mouth memory of what it’s like.
M-m-m-m-m-m. I recall wild strawberries from my childhood, picked fresh and eaten with joy…warm and delicious, a little sweet ping of flavour.
Oh lovely! I trust your desires will be fulfilled with those newly placed scions and fresh berries that they will yield. Our own strawberry bed this year has surpassed in size any that we’ve had in the recent past and our hopes are the same as yours….fresh strawberries in their season.
Fresh strawberries are so wonderful, nothing like the tasteless giant monstrosities in the store…I am so looking forward to eating a few this year and perhaps having enough to freeze some in years to come!
May you have a very Merry Berry Summer!!!! and I hope that we do, too! 🙂
Thank you! I am hoping for perhaps a few this summer, but lots next year! There will be Raspberries and black currants galore by the look of those plants…I hope you have a merry berry summer too!
Wild strawberries are quite different from the cultivated ones aren’t they. I have a few in my garden and there are some in the hedgebanks. I hope you have a good harvest. Don’t your Hitty’s work hard to help you?
I have loved picking and eating wild strawberries since I was an infant in Argentina! They are quite different from tame strawberries, and these ones will be particularly special, coming from my late parents-inlaw’s garden.
I have plants which were gifts or have a story to them and they are always extra special.
Gardening in pearls…how fancy!
…and with her trusty silver gardening trowel at her side! Nothing but the best for our Perdita!
I do hope they proliferate and yield scads of berries. That raised bed is just the ticket!! And Perdita is a fine gardener.. love her frock
We hope so too! The Hittys will definitely keep you informed of the berry progression! That is Perdita’s favourite gardening frock…she likes to wear it and walk over to the sweet peas in hopes of encouraging them!
