Today, I'm much too excited about a couple of green strawberries.
But we grew them ourselves! And they look somewhat like what they're supposed to be!!
The one nearest the camera is even starting to get a little pinkishness amongst the greenness.
I should have waited until they were red, I suppose. But I'm too excited! And probably some bird, or insect, or neighbour child will have eaten them by then!
As you can probably guess, this is the first time we've grown anything edible.
We've started with some potatoes, some carrots, some tomatoes and some strawberries, and the strawberries are the first things to look anything like edible, hence my childlike excitement!
The carrots are a sad story. We planted them, and between the local cats and the local slugs, there is nothing left of them. A couple of little leafy bits will struggle out of the ground from time to time, but despite all our efforts, something has always dug them up or eaten them within a couple of days.
Makes the strawberries all the more miraculous!!
