Ask me how tickled I am!?!?! lol This is my first edible crop since starting to garden here.

I put 17 Tribute everbearing strawberry plants in a lasagne bed last November, never covered them, and started picking berries about a month ago. I gave them compost & epsom salts a couple of months ago, then fertilized for the 1st time last week.

The plants are large & cranking away with buds & berries. I'm thinking since they're everbearing that I might need to fertilize them once in a while thru the summer - does that sound right?

Picked these about an hour ago, for breakfast in the am.
