Strawberry Fields

Sweet, juicy strawberries - who doesn't love 'em!  I've actually been trying to grow strawberries in my nifty little garden and am beginning to think that the only strawberries that I'm going to see anytime soon are on this sweet little apron that I just posted in my Etsy store. 

When I went to purchase my strawberry plants in the fall, the nursery worker said, "You know, strawberries are a little hard to grow."  Well, just who did she think she was telling me this!  I AM a Master Gardener and I can practially raise the dead (plant, that is).  I can certainly grow strawberries! 

Weeeellll, not so fast, Leslie.  I think I ignored them a wee bit more than I should've because I thinkin' we're not gettin' any strawberries this year - unless you count the ones on this apron!
