It's Strawberry time!!! They grew pretty big and almost blemish free. No pesticides used. I started about 3 years ago with 6 plants. They went nuts. I was just lucky that they liked where I planted them. They have full sun and good drainage. My property has a slope into the back yard and the rain runs downhill. You can see the whole patch in photo # 2 , it's all the low greens to the right of the pic. My mother called it strawberry fields. ( it's a small field ) So far I have frozen quite a few for smoothies and made one batch of jam. Yum!

This is my first post. Welcome to my garden! Ryan said I should have a blog. This is a Clematis. It's a red wine color and very beautiful. There are Hostas growing under it. I don't know the name of the golden/yellow creeping plants around it because my neighbor gave me a few pieces and it took off, but I neglected to catch the name.
