The first (almost) ripe strawberry of the season!
I have seven strawberry plants tucked into this little terracotta planter. There are several different varieties, but I didn’t manage to keep the right labels with the right plants, so I don’t know which they all are.
This one’s definitely one of the little alpine strawberries though. It’s very tiny – not even an inch long – but I’m hoping it will taste delicious.
I plan to leave it on the plant until it’s fully ripe – and hope that the blackbird doesn’t eat it before I do!
