Thanks! I manage to find time to put in a garden about every 2nd or 3rd year. I was determined to get one in this year. As retirement nears I may get the chance to do it more often.

You make me sooooooooooo jealous! I did get 20 strawberries this year.

Anyone have advice about strawberry runners? I have them running amok. I don’t know which ones to pull out and which ones to keep.

That’s kinda like us. We would have a kinda half hearted attempt at a garden every 4 or 5 years. Then we retired, and my daughter gave me a book on sq. foot gardening.

I talked Hubby into making me a couple of raised beds and after I had a successful crop for the first time in my life, he decided he’d get back to his roots.

Each year he has created another bed, and planted more perrenial type stuff such as blueberries, blackberries, apple trees etc. Soon our whole backyard will be nothing but food stuff with some green grass in between - all in random order no landscaping plan at all.LOL
