Learning about strawberries

IMG_4304

A friend took us to her "garden." We learned a lot about Strawberries. I was surprised at the original investment. You have to clear the land, build the dirt mounds, install an irrigational system, cover the rows with plastic, and plant the seedlings. Once the plants begin to grow you have to spray, and prune regularly. I didn't think the investment was worth it, until I learned that you can harvest 20 bushels twice a week for a year and a half! Okay, now that adds up to some profit! I have a lot to learn about agriculture.
