Rabbit!

A rabbit came back this year to our yard! The other rabbit was around for the first year we moved in but left; now we have a new friend. Although, I wish he would stay out of the strawberry patch! lol

Dead Strawberry Plants ALIVE!

So last year we dumped our strawberry plants out of the pots into the back yard. They were not doing very well because they didn't like wintering in the pots even though I kept them in the garage covered and off the floor.

Just last week I found a berry growing off one of the 4 plants that survived the winter outside.

 The area looked like hell so I decided to clean it up.

 Then I decided to go step further because I found a bunch of runners under the weeds.

 I put a raised bed planter box around it made of cedar with some cardboard to help stop the weeds.

 To my surprise I found a second strawberry under the leaves. My wife is upset because I ate both of them and didn't save any for her BUT as you can see there are a few more strawberries already on the way!

 The finally product looks good although I think by the end of next year this planter may be full of plants...but that is ok!

Have a great day!
