Sunday’s Simple Pleasures, Strawberries




Our strawberries have started to come in and they are so sweet and juicy. When you bite into them they burst in your mouth. There is just something so special about growing your own fruits and vegetables, everything just tastes better.




Our strawberry plants are intertwined with my perennials so every time the kids and I go to pick them it’s like going on a mini treasure hunt. Abbey has been known to be a little impatient and picks green berries every now and then.




I have fond memories of picking strawberries with my great-grandmother, mother and sister. We used to fill huge Tupperware bowls full of berries and make delicious strawberry shortcakes with them.


Strawberries are simply delicious.

  2. It is so great that you grow your own!! Do you have to plant new plants every year?

I love reading your comments. I like knowing that I am talking to someone other than myself for a change.
