Does your mouth water and pucker just thinking about rhubarb? The rhubarb is ready and we have been enjoying it just raw and crunchy, love it so!!. We planted half of a hundred strawberry plants. we have all together: 50 Earliglow, June bearing, reported to be the tastiest of berries from Nourse; 25 Seascape- day neutral everbearing,, and 25 Sparkle, June bearing, from Lowes. Now interestingly the last time we had a big bed of berries we planted them by carefully spreading out the roots and this time we planted the roots straight down. They grew the last time but apparently we planted them the wrong way. Still we're getting a few berries from the old patch but one of us kept forgetting it was there and it kept getting mowed over. I have read recently that strawberries will produce heavier with a red mulch, I couldn't find any locally but I may be able to find an inexpensive red plastic tablecloth at the party store, I think I will have to have a trial. Tomatoes, too, are supposed to like it.
