Like the green flower turns into this bright shade of pink and then red, among the lush green leaves, after a rainy summer evening : there is something intoxicating about them. Not to mention, strawberries are often the ingredient of a dessert in a romantic date or the perfect side dish for that glass of wine. Imagine picking them up freshly from the leaves and eating them or using them as garnish.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Funnily, once I planted the strawberry plants in my vegetable pot, I covered it to protect it from the outside chill, and I barely did anything at all. They grew real sturdy real quick<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" align=\"aligncenter\"><\/figure>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/danceofchaos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_0137-1.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-166\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">The first lush strawberry<\/p>\n<p>After I planted them, I covered them with a plastic lid. It was a wise decision since the weather was quite chilly and soo. Afterwords the cold weather came back and some frost set in. Imagine my surprise when I saw the first bloom a few weeks back? I was even more happy when the blooms matured to green strawberries and they started to mature slowly. Today will be the first picking of my harvest from my garden. I feel so proud. The joy of helping to create something is so exquisite.<\/p>",
