More and more Strawberries

Well, I planted lots of Strawberries this week, and have many more to go! At the community garden we planted 53 plants during and in between a hail storm with 2 little kids. It went pretty well all in all, but have over a hundred left!!! We are planting more at the garden, and I am sneaking them into other people's gardens, planting into containers for my friends who don't have gardens, and putting them in my own garden. I will take whatever is left over to my farm. It used to be a strawberry farm just like all the rest of Vashon Island before the farmers were interned into work camps for the war... but that is another story. Please contact me if you want to install a strawberry patch anywhere in the next few days and you live in or near Seattle/ Vashon. I will sell them for .75 per plant until I am out, and the varieties again are Tri Star and Puget Reliance- both good for places with poor drainage and resistant to root rots. Make sure you have a weeded area or good container to put them in first and contact me at jayne@sistersageherbs.com or goodfoodgardens@gmail.com
peace - Jayne
