Sorry, I don't mean to rub it in for you folks in more northerly locales, but I have big, juicy, delicious strawberries. At least the berries that the rabbits are leaving for me....

No pictures. Now if you really don't want to rub it in, some pictures of strawberries on ice cream would definitely be okay.

I know. I'm just torturing myself. Right now I have some lovely rhubarb for anyone interested.

In case my dear Ottawa friend was hinting at her (almost) neighbour, thanks from the bottom of my hearth, my dear, but right now, we ALL have a lot of rhubarb  |

The wild strawberries are just getting flowers. I hope bees are not their primary pollinators. I have seen only one chubby bumblebee flying around. Very sad.

I don't have ANY rhubarb. I tried to buy a plant and the garden centre was sold out.  Someone on Freecycle was looking for plants, and no one has answered them? And what I got at the Farmer's Market for $2.50 was barely enough for breakfast!! I'm hoping that there are going to be roots at some of the sales this weekend...... And I found some domestic strawberry plants in the abandoned garden plot but I needed the room, so I tilled them under yesterday. Not worth the aggravation to try to bring them back only to find out that I'm short on space for something important like Pumpkins  |

Blue: If you are up this way, I'm sure that my 4x4 foot rhubarb plant is due for a division soon. Funny how that happens with plants. I'm looking for more strawberries but most of the garden stores are out of the 10 in 1 packs.

Blue, I got great starts of rhubarb from Nourse Farms. They have strawberries and other small fruits too. And, if this will make you feel any better Mike, night before last frost got my potatoes. Our last frost date is supposed to be the 10th. I guess nobody told Mother Nature that. I still have luscious strawberries though!

Thanks Karen, but plants are a not allowed through Customs for we common folk.
I'll find some sooner or later.
Telsing, I appreciate the offer, but I'm not driving 7 hours for a rhubarb root, lol

Thankfully our bees are busy, busy, busy. They are everywhere. We don't grow strawberries anymore because fiance was getting irritated that I let the birds have them, but our blueberries are looking good! Yum. This is our first year to grow blueberries. Blackberries are all in flower as well.
