Lyn, could you order soil and other supplies from Walmart for delivery. Not sure about how to get strawberry plants from the nursery.

Does the nursery deliver?

My daughter is doing very well. I have no problem waiting for her to drive me to nursery. Besides, I want to do all soil transferring at her home, not on my patio! Lyn

Juliet plant is about a ft. tall. Strawberry plants have blossoms. Temps in the 80°this week so should speed things along. Wondering if I could squeeze a snap pea plant on the balcony. Will research growing of that plant. Keep digging. Lol

Harvesting a few ripe raspberries and blueberries from my container garden.

Enough to put on cereal for breakfast.

Already harvested all the ripe strawberries, but the plants are blooming again.

Liz, so encouraging. My strawberry plants jus grow a couple of inches because we had warm weather. I planted a pot of sugar snap peas which will probably sprout and then fry in the present high temps. We plan and then life get in the way. Good thing I’m an optimist and then there is always ice cream, lol. Love your pictures

I spent the morning watching YouTube about strawberries. My plants look healthy but growing very slow. Thought it was the cool erratic weather but….. I haven’t fertilized regularly so will do that.
