    I have a... considerable number of strawberry plants, well over 50.

    Our gardening philosophy is pretty hands off. For us it's about cultivating joy, learning about the plants that share our space and sharing food with all the creatures. If the birds enjoy the berries, we are happy too. The strawberry plants are EVERYWHERE. If the fungus is regulating them, that's fine with us.

    The apples were planted as 1m whips in spring 2022. They are probably 5 ft tall at this point.

    We have some known cherry bushes, "Juliet" and "Crimson Passion" which were also planted spring 2022 but have less fruit than these other ones.

    The raspberries are Nova Red and Heritage Red. Heritage red gives two harvest, the first in July. It's been a warm and early spring, but the plant is right on time with its normal cycle.

    I hope the blackberries bring you joy.

      Thanks that's so thoughtful! I appreciate the responses.

      Amazing how much your birds are eating lol. Usually people are like yeah we planted strawberries and it's 3-4

      Fingers crossed for a good summer
