I just read about people picking off buds the first year for stronger growth but then I read other places that the first year is the best. I was and am a little confused.

We have only one strawberry plant! That’s not even enough for one person! 🙂 Oh, but the 1/2 strawberry I tasted (I had to share with hubby) was extremetly sweet and delicious!

I sure do daily think more thoroughly when praying for my food. I can’t grow strawberries here because the deer keep them mowed down and I get nothing from them. Those deer seem to eat everything these days and have become such a summer pest…otherwise I love them.

That’s pretty scary. I normally purchase mine from a you-pick farm, but this year I planted three rows of them in my garden. I picked off all the buds this year in order to encourage a strong root system. Looking forward to picking them from my own organic garden in the future!
