Picking Strawberries and Planting Last Section of Corn
The past weekend it was finally time to start picking the first harvest of strawberries of the 2014 season. The best part about gardening is when you begin harvesting all your fruits of your labor because this is when all your hard work pays off. Since these are ever bearing berries I will be harvesting them throughout the year as long as I properly care for them during the season.
I also completed the final section of corn and I can now start thinning out the plants that I don’t need. I will most likely start with the first planting I did and remove what plants I no longer need and then I can give them some plant food. They are heavy nitrogen feeders and I will be giving them exactly what they need during the next couple of weeks. (more…)
