Strawberries are winning


And the strawberries are winning...
At least for now....

But the ivy is lurking in the back, and I hate that bright green on the new ivy....

Strawberries for ivy.

So spring came and I went back to battle the ivy. When you remove the ivy there is the question - "What to plant???". I'd like to keep native plants as much as possible, but I 'd like to have useful plants too. This spring I started with strawberries, let's see how they take....

Daffodils came and went.....

They finally started blooming even though nights were cold and the sun was pale. And some of them were really cute and yellow, and many were white with golden harts. Their life was not easy and the ivy was creeping up and creeping me out.

But they stood their ground in rain in shine. And occasional snow shower.
But now they are gone......
