Today we planted strawberries. Got two rhubarb in there as well. I've never grown either. I'm not 100% sure if I had the right side up for the rhubarb so here is hoping. :) I let the kids plant the strawberries. Explaining it: "Dig a hole as deep as your shovel. Make a small dirt rock and put it in the middle of your hole, that is your horse. Now take the roots of your strawberry plant and stand him up. Part the legs and put the cowboy on the horse nice and straight. Cover him with dirt."
Also planted potatoes. This is a first for me also and by the grace of pinterest I finally was able to locate a picture of what they even looked like in the ground. To be honest, unless this yields like 200 pounds of the most delicious potatoes ever... I am not doing it again.
But I am a woman and women tend to forget the labor once the work is done. Which is why I have this bad romance with gardening to begin with.
