First Ripening Strawberry!! (PIX)

This morning I noticed just a blush of color beginning on this berry!
In a few weeks I should be able to make a strawberry shortcake!!

Ahh, what a lovely sight. I am afraid I'm 4 or 5 months from strawberry shortcake- but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Enjoy!

I'm envious! I did get some seeds, but they're more of a shoots 'n' giggles kind of thing. I'm just going to plant them and hope to goodness that the hoodlem neighbor kids don't tear into them.

Beat it sister!
Some of us, like us here in New England are still seeing some snow and wearing winter coats and the only ripe strawberries I see are the ones in pictures, as in the garden catalogs that I sit and read by my fire because its too cold to go outside and aren't you just special with your nearly ripe strawberry

I mean, uh Yea! Wow, good for you, really your strawberries look great. I mean... ya know, I am.... so, so happy for you

I too am rather jealous. Mostly because we decided not to grow strawberries this year. Now, as I see yours beginning to ripe I'm having second thoughts.

Maybe it's not too late...

My whole plants are about the size of that berry

I am extremely jealous. But I was lucky enough to see new growth on our strawberries the other day... fresh green leaves is a good sign!

Stupid snow though... I didn't think it would stick like this so early.

Yeah, I have family in Virginia and Ohio that are still under snow! Of course my Aunt from VA is spending the next two months in CA!!
