The secret (which I have not learned yet) is to crop your pictures and tell no one. Only put the edited pictures on the internet. It is called social media (fantasy) for a reason. Your only "problem" is that you tell the truth.<br /><br />I haven't planted one seed yet this year. You are still way ahead of me and I am south of you.<br /><br />You are doing fine. Really! Just don't give up.<br /><br />Jeannie<br />GetMeToTheCountry.Blogspot.com Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-7240877555437590552017-04-12T05:58:59.056-06:002017-04-12T05:58:59.056-06:00The strawberry plants were potted and indoors.

I have not had much luck with plants started ahead of time indoors from seed. I try to do everything right too but the growth is stunted or they die. I have much better luck planting seeds directly in the garden and buying plants that have a longer time frame before they can be harvested.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-91565650480355582652017-04-11T20:18:25.266-06:002017-04-11T20:18:25.266-06:00That sounds really nice Kelley.
