The field mice may have stolen most of the ripe ones, but they left me just enough to make a little jar of preserves.

I'm so jealous. I seem to have a black thumb so I'd kill a strawberry plant in a matter of days, lol.
I’ve been there too. Never give up! Until then, you can always blame it on the field mice.
Looks yummy! My June bearing plants just wrapped up producing for the year : )
Ooh, fab! Did you eat ‘em all fresh or did you make anything with them? Someday I’ll have enough of a harvest to manage to do both, haha.
My problem with strawberries is slugs and snails. I refer to my strawberries as lgbt/gay as I am growing them in pink pots. So far we have only had a max of 5 … just watered them. Picking just before lunch.
Viva strawberries and cremé … oh yum! YabYum for Tantrists … :)
Ah yes, the struggle is real. Millipedes are my main strawberry nemesis here. It’s always so disheartening when a strawberry looks absolutely perfect… and then you pick it and come to find a hole on the underside where the millepedes have hollowed the whole damn thing out. Haha, the little monsters.
