Well, I know I don't usually start thinking about strawberries until summertime, but last night as I was perusing my absolute favorite periodical, Southern Living, I found myself enrapt in an article about growing strawberries in a hanging basket. Usually, I just skip over the garden section of SL in favor of the lovely travel tidbits, divine design, and incredible recipes. However, this skip is not because I don't appreciate the beauty of a garden and the wonders that grow there, but it has more to do with my thumb not being the greenest and a shortage of green space in my current accomodations. The article advocated using a metal collandar instead of an actual bastket. The same device used to drain your spaghetti can be used to grow strawberries! Isn't that delightful?! From what I can tell, you purchase about 3 little strawberry plants, fill in with potting soil, water well, and watch them grow. Stay tuned for updates on this little idea. Hopefully, I'll had a tinge more green to my thumb!! Hope you have a good evening!
PS. I did a yoga workout on Netflix tonight and it was really good! I can't wait to explore other workout options. Let me know if you have tried any workouts on Netflix that you have liked. :)
Oh I love this :) I have wanted to grow a garden for years; you're inspiring me! And yay for doing yoga! I didn't know Netflix had a workout section as well. This is exciting!
ReplyDeleteI want to do it, too! I love strawberries and they're so expensive right now (but I keep buying them because I love them!) My next question (which may be a silly one) where exactly do you buy strawberry plants from??
