Strawberries!

[panik]

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)

Oh! You should be able to make a batch of jam. There's truly nothing like it!

Some see them as weeds in their lawn. I love them. Both when they have their pretty white flowers and when the lovely red fruit ripens.

I have to admit, our lawn is far from being 100% grass. Many home owners would be horrified, but as long as it's green and organic, we don't care. *g*

Jams and me have never been a success together, tbh. I just munch the fruit down while it's fresh.

Lawns are nothing more than green deserts. I don't have one, I'd rather grow stuff in the space. Dad's take all week to mow; a complete waste of time and space imo.

We have far too much space to leave it all as garden, but it takes J. about 3 hours maximum to mow all of our lawn and he always does it in stages, so never too much at once. Our total property is 80' x 200' and it already looks wild. =>}

My Mum always made jam in the summer from whatever fruit was going at the time - strawberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, apples (mostly jelly), she even made her own mint jelly. So I learned very young how to make jam and have (almost) never had a problem with it.

There's nothing like sitting all cozy at the dining room table on a frosty -30ºC day, eating the fruits that grew in the hot summer. =>}

I love your philosophy - think I'll mention it to my d-i-l. *g*

Good luck with that. Most people don't appreciate it. =>}
