Sophie and Isabella both love strawberries so much! I love this because I am not a huge fan and I want them to like stuff that I don't. Nate likes everything, so I am grateful his genetics are mixed in there giving them a wider variety.
Anyway, I have been buying them all sorts of new fruits and berries to make into smoothies and to snack on during the day. Sophie decided she wanted to grow some strawberries. So while we were at IFA, I gave in and bought a container and a few plants for her to tend. I am not so good at gardening in the ground and have had much better success with pots, I think they just seem more manageable. We also bought some new gardening gloves for her and set out to planting the strawberries.
It was a nice warm day when we planted them. But for the past few days it has been snowing and raining. I am so hoping they survive and she gets some strawberries, she checks on them multiple times a day. She does have some far-fetched plans of taking the grown strawberries to the zoo and feeding them to the animals, but I think she will be happy just to eat something she had a hand in growing.

Way to go Jill and Sophie. Strawberries are so fun and the pot is a great idea. I'll bet Grandpa Miskin would give you all sorts of plants but I am surprized you got some already. Maybe I will pot some this year. My tomatoes did so well last year.
Strawberry plants don't mind the cold and snow too much, so I'm sure they'll be fine.
That's my girl, love you sophie!
that lady is the cutest thing ever. She is getting soooo big. Cutie pie!!!
