The squirrel got to most of the strawberries on the upper deck, but the Sequoias on the lower deck are doing pretty well considering they went through a pretty heavy windstorm last week and lost many of their leaves. My husband tried his first homegrown strawberry this week and reported that it was the most delicious strawberry he had ever eaten.
I'm happy to report that my special-ordered woodland strawberry (frais de bois), which spent the better part of last month on the brink of death, has finally decided it is happy enough to bloom! I'm not expecting high yield from these guys this summer, but it would be nice to try one or two of the purportedly intense-flavored strawberries, which are hard to find even at specialty stores in this country.

I was looking all over for Sequoias here as they are supposed to be perfect for Oklahoma. No luck so I planted something else, but maybe next year! Yours are looking great!
ReplyDeleteSequoias are nearly the only thing they sell here! I was trying to find a variety, but no such luck.
