Spring Strawberries

Last year was our first year with strawberry plants in our front yard tree box.  During the first year it is suggested to pluck off the flowers so that the plants can put their energy into becoming established rather than producing fruit.  That makes this the first year for us to get an actual crop of strawberries.  Boy did we!  Drew blew me away when he walked in with this bunch.  Turns out they’ve been loving all this rain.

Sun Shade

Drew and I love our backyard covered porch but we have not taken full advantage of it for outdoor eating due to the timing of when the sun shines in.  Now that is no longer a problem.  Drew pulled out a little DIY magic and fashioned us a lovely shade out of a roll of fabric, dowel rods, and string.

More Green Egg meals are in our future.
