I left my strawberries outside, but it poured and they were overwatered. No big deal, I thought, I can just put them outside in the sun. Did that work? No! It didn't! So I had to eventually get rid of ALL four of my strawberry plants. Gardening can be so frustrating sometimes. Oh well, at least they went to the compost, so they'll still be useful for the other garden plants.
We're working on a garden plot right now, a 20'x7' (I think). The soil (native soil) is so fertile! It has so many worms! Johannian already put some potatoes in part of the space we currently have cleared. They sprouted, but then a frost came along, and the little ones died. The potatoes are sending up more shoots though. I wish all plants were as hardy as potatoes, don't you?
The apple tree is blossoming like crazy right now. Johannian buried some fish guts around the tree from some crappie and bluegill he caught about a week ago. That should be good fertilizer. Last year, we only got three fruit, but they dropped off before they could ripen. The grasshoppers completely destroyed it last year, and I thought for sure it was a goner. But it's come back this year, and we've cleared all the weeds around it, which has helped immensely so far. Crossing my fingers for some fruit this year! 
To end the post, here are some pretty wildflowers that have been blooming over here. They're so pretty!
