I do so love strawberries Betty. Over here in Limey land our strawberry season is over it sounds like yours is about to start oh yummy bring on the whipped cream.

That's the best kind of medicine, Betty.

Betty,
congratulations. Have you considered a strawberry Schnapps?

I can honestly say that armed with all the info on this board we shall never starve.

Betty, I knew you could do it!!!

Now I'm having a problem with a profusion of strawberries in my imagination: strawberries with whipped cream, (which I had on a waffle yesterday) strawberry pie, a dish of strawberries, strawberries on pancakes.

Now, let them grow.

Love, Carol

I love strawberries and you, Betty.

I could eat them every meal, every day.

My strawberries that I have indoors died and it looks like my lemon tree is going the same. I have a light I bought because there wasn't a lot of sun this year. I thought that might be the problem but still they die.

Hairymob..

So sorry to hear about your Lemon
Tree..I have grown a Lemon tree called " Meyer Lemon,"
it even flowers when young producing fruit. Another great
Citrus tree is a " Calamondin Orange Tree," It produces all
year round fragrant white flowers and miniature oranges, I
have one three feet tall by two feet wide in front of my living
room window, in the Summer it gets full sun and in the Winter
partial sun. I have found out over the years that Citrus don't
like to be fed in the Winter, this is their resting period. In the
Spring feed them 30-30-30 high nitrogen , every once in awhile
feed them every few weeks in the growing season fertilizer 6
this is high in the middle number 58 or 60 , it helps produce
flowers and fruit. check your local nursery for the two citrus I
recommend, let me know what happens..

Cheers...Joe

I'll have a look but mine was grown from seed. I did have five to begin with but four never made it through last winter. I doubt if the one that's left will not make it through this winter. I did think it would as it seemed to be doing well. Then I started decorating and it didn't like it, it seems. From there it began to shed leaves and the top has started to wither.
