    Yeah my Strawberries planted in spring 2023 produced a lot of strawberries in spring 2024. Didn’t even care about the snow that laid on them, came back fine in spring. I planted a 4x8ft area with them and got so many we couldn’t eat them fast enough. I froze a bunch in quart sized bags and had some for a year that I’d just take out if I randomly wanted a strawberry margarita or such haha.

    Now the chickens keep us with to many eggs, so all our neighbors get free eggs lol. But I didn’t have to color eggs for Easter!

      AHH that’s good to hear then, just need to wait for next spring for it to start rolling through hopefully. Yeah I hear they can great pretty invasive if not controlled lol but the more strawberries the better I say!

      Rolling in the money right there, got some spare eggs for me? 😅

        Yeah, when it hits fall they will start to spread outwardly (vines not meant to grow strawberries but to take roots). Then the following spring those will start growing everythijg they need for strawberries, essentially becoming their own little plants if they cut lopped off somehow.

        And yeah, my youngest hens are now 6 months, so they are starting to lay, so I’ll average a 10-12 eggs a day moving forward. The 2 year olds were laying around 6 a day. The neighbors will be happy

          I see! This is great information you’ve given me, I will make sure to keep these in mind, I appreciate your help.

          Man, i wouldn’t even know what to do with all the surplus of eggs hehe, maybe make some homemade mayonnaise, cook 50 eggs, go crazy! Plus all that protein.
