I am fully aware that MANY people will have had lots of strawberries already.  A friend of mine has already had over 8lbs!  But I planted mine late and probably not in the best place.  I don’t care, because this is my first-ever, self grown strawberry.  The variety is Tarpan which has, unusually, red flowers and not the standard white.  I am promised tasty oval fruit from the pretty red flowers that it is currently covered in.  I can also vouch for the fact that it is very easy to grow.

I am incredibly excited – but I must be patient.   Will let you know how it tastes.  DSC05257
