Description

We are people who like plants. We like to look at them and think about them and read about them and talk about them and even to grow them! Some of us have lots of land, some of us have one pot on a windowsill. Plant care keeps us in harmony with our environment and connected to Life in a deeply satisfying way.

Strawberries - over winter

We built gardens in the schools in our community. The kids loved them. What suggestions do you have for mulching the strawberries? We are in WNC. I have suggested straw. What else is there? | posted by lovesreading
