Are your wild strawberries the same as our alpine strawberries, Woodrow?
The leaves look very similar.
The berries are small, but tend to be stronger in flavour than commercial strawberries.

^^Sis SAFA LOOL Rocks and maybe some Sunflowers( I like sunflowers btw You can eat sunseeds from it :D) and Some other plants LOL My neighbours will notice immediatly If I take one of their plants .

and it is my Front Garden dont you see the Cars at pic 3 LOL :D
 
Well, let's just say I know a bit about vegetables ...

The plant in the front corner looks like coriander, or perhaps flat-leaved parsley - but I could be wrong (the lady in the local Muslim grocers always used to laugh at me because I mixed the two up all the time ...)

Clearly I know my vegetables better than my herbs ... :giggling:

Yes they are basically the same plant. Although the berries are much smaller then the commercial grown ones, they taste many times better.

Plus, compost heaps are all-important, bearing in mind that as God's creation we have a responsibility to protect the environment!
Yes, composting is good, but it is also a lot of work. There are cotton gins very near where I live that have huge piles of waste from the ginning operation. The gin separates the lint from the seed and the lint goes through cleaners that remove the leaf trash. The gin trash is a waste product that is usually spread over farms for disposal, but it has an added benefit of adding some nutrients and organic matter back into the soil. I plan to get some of the composted gin trash to use as a mulch around our tomatoes and peppers.

The first summer fruit ...

It's always a wonderful time of year, when the first summer fruit ripens.
Nothing better than the first raspberry or strawberry of the year, freshly picked from the plant!

Here are our first raspberries:

And our strawberries:

The gooseberries and white currents are coming on nicely, but they will take a little longer to ripen:

It has become my routine to walk down the garden path first thing in the morning, usually whilst I am drinking the first cup of coffee of the day.
I put food out on the bird table, pick some fruit to have with our breakfast cereal and look for what's new in the garden.
It is beautiful to see how things have grown, even over night!

I love the peace and calm in the early morning, and it gives me time to reflect, pray, marvel about the wonders of life, and mentally prepare for the day.

May you all have a blessed day! :statisfie

Isn't wonderful to walk out and see blooms on fruits and veggies or even better fruits or veggies growing on the plants??? BTW we now have blooms on our plants so we will soon have little green beans and lima beans! :D

Pond update.

I agree, Barbara.
I enjoy my garden very much, and the produce even more! :statisfie

Here is our pond now, after we have added some plants and a little water fountain.

As you can see the water has started to clear.

Here is one of snails, which helps keep the water clear:
