Behold the best garden project ever! Why clutter up your back yard with flowers and other useless plants when you can create a strawberry pyramid? Yep, that's a three part dirt layer cake of 50 strawberry plants. My parents and I spent most of Friday and part of Saturday constructing and planting this beauty, complete with watering nozzle sticking right out of the top. I consider it a beautiful (and practical)
piece of minimalist yard art.
The plants are teeny tiny so if we're lucky we'll have strawberries by August. That gives us about 2 weeks of harvesting before the Wisconsin winter sets in. But oh, what a two weeks!

That's amazing. I would like to sign up for one order of Joyceberries, please.
Man, I'm jealous. How have I lived so long without a strawberry pyramid in my backyard?
(I like sad, British music too, but was disappointed to have recognized only 4 bands in your sidebar. I guess I'm not as hip as I thought I was.)
