Strawberry Baby!

My strawberry plants has been growing indoor on our windowsill. I've been waiting for the right conditions to plant them outside, longing for snow to be over. I found out strawberries grow well up here so a month ago, I purchased two kinds of strawberries due to impulse: Quinault and Sequoia, I couldn't decide. The baby above is Quinault and I noticed a couple more tiny ones getting ready to blossom. My sweet husband built a strawberry box about 2 weeks ago. I started working on amending the soil and trying to make it more acidic. Yesterday after adding homemade compost with pine needles to organic soil, I tested the ph level. The result was 6.5 so it looks like I'm getting there, only if it would stop snowing!


I also transplanted some houseplants like this variegated ivy to a cute watering can. My ivy plants are doing wonderful.


Nepthytis is one of my favorites for indoor gardening, I love the heart shaped foliage!
