Strawberries!

So glad I decided to let the garden have its own way viz wild strawberries for ground cover. They really would cover everything if I let them, if I didn't keep them constantly in check. Not these babies though, we ate them for dinner and very good they were, too :o)

And then the heavens opened, and then my camera batteries died. :o)

I have wild berries growing in my back yard.

Strawberries? Or other berries.

I don't grow many berries in the garden because it's a tiny garden and the woods and moors round here are groaning with the wild sort; blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cloudberries, dewberries - I only grow a few strawberries, black, white and red currants and I just got a gooseberry bush that I need to get in the ground, otherwise, it's all free, why take up the precious space? :o) The wild strawberries grow like crazy anyway, they keep down the weeds and look pretty and require no work at all, which is the best part. :o)

What else do you grow?

They are wild raspberries that grow in my back yard.....the only thing I have growing right now are tomatoes. I have been thinking about starting a larger garden but then I get lazy.
