Do you grow your own fruit? Growing your own berries isn’t difficult and will be much cheaper than buying fruit from the store.

We’ve had strawberry beds every since we moved here in 2006. We added a lot more composted manure to the strawberry bed this year and it shows!

We have had runners going willy nilly and they are beyond getting out of control.

Berries - for your Health!

Strawberry pots like this are fantastic for on the patio or any other small garden space. You can get a lot of strawberries from one of these pots!
