Strawberry Container Garden

These strawberries I purchased before Christmas from Walmart Garden Center. They have been kept inside the patio greenhouse.

Some have some really beautiful strawberry flowers. Anxious to see how they do.

The strawberries are planted inside of self watering containers- love them!

Early container garden

Planted these a few days ago. It's the beginning of our container garden for 2010. Since we are in North Texas and the soil is almost all clay, we are going to use containers and raised beds this year. The first containers have strawberries and the last container has broccoli.

Starting alpine strawberries

Bought these little Alpine strawberry seeds online. They are supposed to be good container strawberries. Started them today anxious to see how well they do in comparison to the strawberry plants I picked up. Time will tell.

Starting Tom Thumb Peas

Starting Tom Thumb Peas to grow in containers on the back porch. I have never grown these before so not sure how well it's going to work. We will see!
