Gorgeous pics, Tisha! Thanks for sharing them. I have planted strawberries in a pot - just for my granddaughter to have the experience of raising them and tasting home-grow SBs. Your yard looks beautiful!

My yard is still a mess - working on it, tho. I plant natives and host and nectar plants for the butterflies. I've raised so many now, including the sphinx moth caterpillars, I couldn't tell you all the species. Monarchs are one that are very dear to my heart, though.

Thanks! We were really lucky, in that most of the plants that the people before us had planted, came back this year.

They did all the hard work (we just paid for it! LOL).

The backyard was really one of the major selling points for the house, for us anyway.

I just hope we can keep it looking halfway decent.

The strawberries are an experiment. We've never planted any before. We'll see how they do. He also planted some jalapeno peppers.

Tish,

Everything looks great, as usual. There's nothing wrong with purchasing a home with a great yard...and I bet you two will keep it lovely too.

What a cutie Jaz is! I love the photo of her rolling!

I bet y'all are going to be out in the yard a lot this summer!

Thanks. Yeah, I bet we will too. We were even for the short time we had last year. We moved in on August 14th, so it was HOT and the bugs were out in full force, but we still spent quite a bit of time.

The mosquitos are already out this year. I need to get some candles or torches to put out there.

Hi Tisha
Great pics, it cheers me up seeing that spring is really here. I'm growing strawberries for the first time too and am trying them in 2 hanging baskets. Fingers crossed.

Mick.

Let me know how they do! Keith was determined to put them in the ground. I tried to talk him into getting a strawberry pot, but he was having none of that. lol
