Carpentering for the Carpenter

Last summer, after getting the back lawn reseeded, I rearranged and refilled three planter boxes. But it was too late to plant anything. But this spring I took out the weeds (mostly quack grass) that were growing in them, giving them a good cultivating (with the spade) at the same time.
Then Colleen brought home and planted dozens of strawberry plants.

Now our labor is finally bearing fruit, real fruit. On Saturday I picked four (yes 4) strawberries. Then this evening we had a most serindipitous experience. All through all three beds were lots of lovely red berries. (It's amazing how fast things grow in 20 hour days.)

Below is a picture of the results. Well almost, the one Colleen ate off the vine is obviously not in the picture!

They were delicious, both by themselves and on ice cream!
