Still waiting on strawberries here

We just moved onto our homestead/ranch/farm and Im currently sprouting some plants hoping to be able to put away a lot later in the year. Sadly Im a real noob at gardening. My peppers, pumpkin and cucumbers seem to be doing well but my tomatoes all died(Like 60 seeds). Im learning a bit though as I go and were nowhere near ready to plant so I have more than enough time to try again. I dont think Ill be able to affoard it this year as Im getting my horses set up and my chickens but next year I want to set up a growing closet to sprout and maybe keep herbs during winter.

Me too. Wait..... the snow has to be gone before the strawberries can come

The store bought ones just aren't as good.

I've seen strawberries in the stores but I'll wait on the ones grown locally. They should be ready in a couple of weeks.

Hi folks, too many threads to follow for me. Anyhow has anyone made Dandelion jelly. I gotta decide whether to do it as they don't last long around here. I have a recipe that calls for 365 flowers.

Getting the garden ready and chicks are hatching. Spring is my favorite time of year.

I missed strawberries for $0.48/lb in town yesterday

I want to make a HUGE batch of freezer jam to get us through the rest of the year!

OUCH! Nice price. What recipe will you be using?

I usually use the freezer jam recipe in the pectin box, but this year I'm thinking about a natural, pectin and refined sugar-less version:
