Strawberry fields forever

So, these are the start to something sweet (maybe)... I read an article online the other day about growing strawberries and decided that, since I get lots of sun on the deck and I have at least three hooks to hang pots on the deck, why not grow strawberries? It'd be something 'neat' to harvest if it worked! So, the strawberries I was snacking on over the last few days were finished off this morning and a few of them were sacrificed (well just some chunks with some seeds still attached) to the 'growing gods' (or at least I hope!). The styrofoam pot they come in worked perfectly to put my new seed-starting dirt in, and the plastic film that comes over them even already has an air-hole, and is secured by an elastic - it was the perfect set up for them, let's just hope it works now!


I also bought some little mini peat pots that I will be planting things in this weekend hopefully, after we get back from the seed sale!!! Eeeee! I'm such a geek!
