We got so much rain that the last picking yielded several water-logged ones that weren't good for anything. Now we'll move on to enjoying fresh veggies.Plainlady's Ponderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526327124561246570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-40931463713512281502010-06-16T08:32:26.566-04:002010-06-16T08:32:26.566-04:00Impressive totals Gina!!

I can't wait to have my own berries :D<br /><br />And I LOVE the idea of using the area for corn after the harvest- now that's utilizing the land!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180289951777672150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-11978192650518443022010-06-15T22:25:06.429-04:002010-06-15T22:25:06.429-04:00Gina,

If you want to thin your plants, this is the time to do it. We like to fertilize the plants good and make sure they are watered well. They will soon grow back better then before! Hope that makes sense! <br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-30706062197688678602010-06-15T13:28:53.421-04:002010-06-15T13:28:53.421-04:00I really enjoy your blog and check it nearly every...I really enjoy your blog and check it nearly every day!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692636190073856859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-83078255818083747262010-06-15T13:26:38.970-04:002010-06-15T13:26:38.970-04:00When you mentioned your patch got too wide, when d...When you mentioned your patch got too wide, when did you till down the middle? Right after they stopped producing, or in early fall? Ours is also too wide, but it's a younger patch...we didn't know any better...lol...and let them send forth a lot of runners.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692636190073856859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-14946657788560852342010-06-15T10:25:19.620-04:002010-06-15T10:25:19.620-04:00Sounds like a great (and tasty) return-on-investme...Sounds like a great (and tasty) return-on-investment to me!
