Strawberries are the reason I started gardening. As a kid we raised some kind fo small strawberry that had a great taste, not the watered down taste of most grocery store strawberries.

  • The first year I only planted a few Camarosa plants in a wodden planter.
  • Year 2: Eversweet, Camarosa,
  • Year 3 (2005): Eversweet, Camarosa, Generic Everbearing. A total of 5 plants, this is the year where I bought a house and built the first raised beds, the number of plants increases signifigantly. Acquired some Sweet Charlies and some Florida 90s.
  • Year 4 (2006): Moved to a long raised bed just for strawberries. Added Festivals, Fraises des Bios. At 1 per square foot there are 40 plants. At the end of the year the old plants for under the apple tree for ground cover and the daughter plants get replanted.
  • Year 5 (2007)
  • Year 6 (2008): Earliglow, Sequoia
  • 2009: Mara de bios, Camarosa, Wild,
  • 2010: 1 bed Mara de bois except 3 cells of Festival. Other bed all Earliglow, 2 Florida Radianece
  • 2011: 3x Florida Radience, 2x Allstar, 13 Sweet charlie, 11 Mara des Bois, 7 eversweet, 2 earlieglow, 2 festival
