Strawberry Bags

Well it’s getting hot down here in south Texas and that’s never good news for strawberries. Strawberries like cool weather and full sun.

These bags have been hard to keep hydrated. The heat and resulting dry conditions are making very small, but very flavorful berries.

I took the bags down last night and soaked them in a bucket. I put the moist bags in the pot I have the babaco papaya in. I will need to spread netting over them to keep rodents out of the berries, but they will be much happier on my porch away from the 100+ degree heat we’re having right now. I’m hoping to get them to survive the summer and grow them through our winter.

I have lots of love for these berries!

Meet you out in the garden to cover our plants and get around our plant killing temperatures!
