Stop in for a cup of coffee
Thanks! We only have 3 fairly new plants and this is the first year they produced more than a hand full of berries.
When we were kids, my parents planted a strawberry patch next to our back porch... They wondered why they didn't get any strawberries for the first few years...
Then one day my mom caught our oldest Dalmatian in the strawberry patch raiding the strawberries... She knew to only eat the red ones and leave the green ones... Smart girl....
When mom busted her, she said "what are you doing in the strawberry patch"???
The dog looked at her as if to say, "what strawberry patch, I don't see any strawberries"...
Then mom asked her, "what are those red stains around your mouth"????
The dog looked at her, "what red stains"... As she's trying to lick the evidence off her lips...
Yep - stone cold busted... They put a chicken wire around the strawberry patch after that and we got strawberries from there after... :D
