My Strawberry Heaven!
Good day peeps and peepettes!
Saturday again! The weekend is here and most of us can now sit back and relax for a few days! My heart goes out to those who also have to work in the weekends and I hope they will also be able to relax at least a little bit!
It's 28c here today! Warm, hot and a real early Summer day! While I am blessed to have AC, I have to admit that I am enjoying the heat today! Most of all because it brings that amazing red color to my soon, very soon to be slaughtered and eaten strawberries!
Balcony fruits!
I live in an apartment and our balcony is far from big! BUT, I always enjoy growing some fruits on there! Most of the time I pick strawberries and tomatoes! They do really well and give lots of juicy and sweet fruits every year! My balcony is 3/4 of a day in the full Sun. I tried some other things as well but to be hinest, my fingers are not that green. I tried carrots..... Failed.... I tried lettus.... Big fail (Unless you count me feeding the snails is not a fail?))
During the last week, I took a few pictures with my ( Bless this ancient old phone) Samsung phone because I always enjoy seeing things grow!
^Here you can already see the strawberry form in the flower! The first year my strawberries were really small and I could not understand why that happened. Strawberries seem to become bigger if you give them enough water! Lesson learned! So, now we add way more water to them every day and indeed, they are growing even faster and turning into mega juicy snacks!
^This one is already a bit bigger and starts to scream my name. Eat me eat me....! I will just have to wait a little bit longer! Now that the weather really is better and the temp is rising they are starting to grow even faster! Soon, I will end up in a strawberry coma!
^Here you see the smallest bundle of the biggest plant we have! For some reason, I really think strawberries look cute! Like they scream, cuddle me, cuddle me or something! Or maybe I am just a little bit weird and that is okay!
^Just nom nom nom is the growing right? look at all those cute little soon to be snacks! I wish I could toy around with time. You know, say a spell and turn them all red! But on the other hand that would take away all the fun! UNLESS... I say the wrong spell and instead of turning my strawberries red I turn one of my neighbors into a donkey?
^This is the only before and after shot I took this week! Mostly because ... well there was only one red strawberry this morning! Makes sense right? And yes, I said was because it no longer is! It's gone.... It's nommed away!
^The after shot but you can also call this the right before the Snek dived in and nom nom nommed the snack picture! Take your pick, I don't mind either way! It was so super juice and amazingly sweet! Now all we have to do is wait for the others to follow like good little cuddly strawberries and we are good to go! I see strawberry ice cream in my near future!
Thank you for reading my post!
Best wishes

I started to grow some herbs like mint and sage :) I have a terrace so just pots, wish I had a garden... late this year already to try right? but they look nomsie :) last year I had a tomato plant and I couldn't eat the tomatoes hahaha XD saved the seeds :)
first of all, have a great weekend. It's amazing how you succeeded to grow those plants in your balcony. The strawberries are so attractive like asking to try them. Very creative. I am growing a few flowers in my balcony but never tried to grow something eatable.
Maybe you should give it a try! I started with one tomato plant. The next year I added a few more and a strawberry plant! If your balcony is on the Sunny side they will grow so well and become super sweet! Much better than those you buy in the shop!
