From TWO grocery store strawberries to a massive, exploding patch! 🍓✨
This exact time last year, I planted just a tiny, square-foot area of seedlings I started from actual store-bought fruit. Fast forward to today, and these beauties are sending out runners like I’ve never seen before!
My secret routine?
☀️ Facing south for maximum sun
💦 Regular watering
🐛 A little sprinkle of all-natural mealworm frass in early spring
That is literally IT. Seeing those first pops of bright red peeking through the lush green leaves makes me so excited because it’s the ultimate sign that growing season is finally here!
While I’m taking some time this week to get caught up on weeding the rest of the garden, I’ll also be dropping some fresh bakes very soon—so stay tuned for that! 🥐🎂
But today, I just had to share this proof that you should just START. Start small. Just plant it. You’d be surprised how far a little love goes. Plus, in today’s economy, you absolutely cannot beat free, delicious homegrown strawberries that taste a million times better than anything from the store.🌱
WANT TO START YOUR OWN PATCH?
These things grow like crazy and I have plenty of established runners ready to go! If you want to buy some strawberry starts to kickstart your own garden:
