We planted a large strawberry patch early spring and it has begin to give us strawberries! They are so so good. The plants are sending out tons of 'runners', which are thin vines that make new plants. We're going to pot the new baby plants after their roots get established so we can double our patch. If we had thought this through, we would have just started with a much large patch and spaced the plants really far apart. But we didn't, so there's a bit more work involved. Also: greens, spinach, and romaine lettuce.
Foster Dog Dash has gone back to the shelter. He was way too much of a puppy for us. I took him to the dog park every day after work and he ran and swam and tired out every other dog at the park and still managed to come back to the house and go wild. Dia was so fed up. They did manage to cuddle for about two seconds, so I snapped a picture. I hope Dash gets a home with a jogger or something.
Yes, Dash is a perfect name, and perhaps he will get a home with a marathon runner - they could complement each other:-) Wow, that had to be quite a tiring time while he was visiting. I hope he gets a good home, too. Maybe you can foster another later? Or send me a couple dozen kittens?
ReplyDeleteThe strawberries and such from the garden area are so beautiful! Color I can almost taste from here. Enjoy!
Thanks for posting, miss it when you don't.
BTW gardens will be really lame in the north country this year - it's still rainy and cold (highs maybe 70) growing season is so short it will be sad for tomatoes again - like last year. Oh well. I do have blossoms on my tiny plants!
Seems you didn't think about before you got a dog from the shelter. You were a Asshole to take it back. Poor dog,was happy to get out of the shelter and have a forever home. Just when he was getting settled in you take him back to be locked up in dog jail again.You have a farm,why not keep him outside if he was active? I hope you NEVER adopt a animal again.
