Well, what can I say? I ran out of spots today in my overflow containers, so when my impulse Japanese strawberries came ๐, Iโm so excited, you guys! My Japanese strawberries ๐ are Momo Ichigo; Kaorino; Akihime; Japanese Angel strawberries. ๐ So this was the solution to my problem. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฃ My dogs donโt use this old pool anymore. So I drilled holes, filled it, and made it into a hidden strawberry garden in my backyard. ๐คฃ๐๐ธ๐ฉต. Iโm going to just copy and paste some quick Google definitions on them if anyone is interested. Momo Ichigo (Peach Strawberry - ๆก่ซ): Native to Tokushima, these rare berries have a distinct, subtle peach aroma and flavor. They are highly juicy, mildly sweet, and not overly sugary, delivering an incredibly refreshing profile. Kaorino (ใใใ้): Translated as "scented field," this award-winning variety from Mie Prefecture is famous for its vibrant floral fragrance and honey-like sweetness. It is exceptionally low in acidity with a long conical shape and firm, juicy flesh. Akihime (ใใใฒใ): Developed in Shizuoka, this is one of Japanโs most popular varieties. It is distinguished by its elongated shape and melt-in-your-mouth soft flesh. It is wonderfully sweet with minimal tartness, making it a favorite for both fresh eating and "all-you-can-eat" farm tours in Japan. Angel Strawberries (ๅคฉไฝฟใฎใใกใ - Tenshi no Ichigo / Awayuki): These luxurious, pale white to blush-pink strawberries have red seeds. Despite their unripe appearance, they are remarkably sweet, soft, and have a unique flavor profile that sets them apart from traditional red berries. For anyone interested in finding these here is where I got them. https://santiamnursery.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop3PBoKxCNWherx5xf55CEyQSNz_LdV7kB2VewSwX-UlLYMhTU7. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Strawberry #PlantAddict #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter

I love looking at that cutie elephant's lavender face!
And...good thinking...you left the tip of his nose exposed so he could breathe!

@Yellowconverse they are super easy. I planted some Momo Ichigos a couple of years ago and harvested them this summer early. They were so good I had to buy more. ๐คฃ๐ซถ๐ป I live in zone 6 and they did great with my regular strawberries. ๐ From my understanding they can do zones 4-9 and just need chill time. But they are super delicate strawberries so thatโs why I put straw down.
@Malagueรฑa, thanks! ๐ I didnโt know they were a thing until I started reading more about strawberries. ๐ But omg, they are so good ๐
@debbiedo @CutePolypremum @princesspitstop I love this little pool, and my dogs loved it. We used to put the water coming out of the trunk, but they got too big to handle such a low-impact little pool, so we had to upgrade to thicker ones they couldnโt carry around. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ Iโm just hoping they donโt carry off my strawberries or my plant killer doesnโt decide to dig them all up. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ฅฐโบ๏ธ Iโll have to get a photo of my plant killer. Sheโs the sweetest girl with an angel face, and when she gets caught, she freezes (sheโs convinced if she doesnโt move, you wonโt see her; sheโs only 160 pounds), but naturally, we canโt see her if she doesnโt move. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@Idplantthat Your dogs are the best!!! Haha I took a picture of Bob yesterday staring me down waiting for me to take them outside.
@princesspitstop oh my gosh! I love Bob! ๐ฅฐ๐ I just want to kiss ๐ him up! Heโd be so freaked out by me. Ha ha Iโd want to love him so much ๐คฃ heโd just be like ah, save me from the crazy lady she wants to love me and I donโt know her! But wait.. she has food.. hmm.. ๐ค ๐คฃ I always have food on me.
@Idplantthat He would be fine with it! He's pretty social. It's Blaze that I have to remind to behave when we see people on our walks. Lol sometimes it works, sometimes not so much! ๐
@princesspitstop ha ha ha Blaze is hilarious with his personality. He does what he wants; heโs got this. Itโs not his fault his personality and body size donโt line up. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@Idplantthat I look forward to pics of your stealth plant killer LOL
