This weekend, my son and I dove into our adaptive garden and came out with baskets full of strawberries. He was so excited, picking the ripest ones and popping a few straight into his mouth. I swear, the trick is to use raised beds and mulch. It keeps the weeds down and the berries clean. Plus, we water early in the morning so the leaves dry out by noon—no moldy mess. We added a few marigolds around the edges, and now we barely see any bugs. Watching my son hunt for the juiciest berry makes all the digging and planning worth it. Every year, our little patch gets better. If you want sweet strawberries, give them sun, space, and a little love. #gardening #parenting #strawberries
