Ripe Strawberry in My Southern California Garden

 

The strawberry is finally ripe.  Today will be tasting day.  Hope it's sweet and juicy!

I planted quite a few strawberry plants.  As the days warm up, I'm expecting plenty of strawberry production. 

Strawberry Season in California

Subtle:  As the strawberry matures, the blush of red deepens.

Strawberry season has started in California.  Oh, are they delicious.  I purchased some yesterday at the store and enjoyed them as an evening snack.

My own little strawberry patch is hard at work creating strawberries.  You can see hints of red starting to appear at the top of the berry of the second photo.  This currently is my only berry.  And luckily, no critters have discovered it yet!
