The Strawberry Patch!

I am so excited.....These are everbearing strawberries that I've planted in two of my windowboxes. After wondering if they would ever flower, last week they rewarded me with loads of pretty white blooms. This week they are setting tons of fruit! The trick is patience I guess.....My intuition told me to just leave them alone and let them get established underground, sort of like raspberries do. Fruiting bushes like these do their work under the soil first and then  usually at the point when you are about to toss them explode with life! Now I've got to go get berry netting as I see the robins are keeping their watch!
