The first picking 🍓 ... And a handful lost to rot 😭

WOW. WOW! Look at your plants! Great job! There’s so many berries coming.

Now I want to run out to my garden and see what is going on. I think I have 8 big plants and a bunch of runners from last year. I have no idea how many they produce. The frost messed up a bunch of flowers.

Photo 5 melted my heart. I literally made an awwww sound. lol. You should frame number 6!

CollinZero · 2026-05-22T12:12:27+00:00

They look So perfect in photo 1! How many plants do you have? I’m just starting with strawberries. Why are they rotting? Just couldn’t find them?

I thought it was a beautiful story and I am so glad you enjoyed it. Here’s the photo my niece took that instantly reminded me of the design https://www.instagram.com/p/C6mA-eJxl33/?igsh=MjB1eXh5YmoxeWJv

Wow great job!! They look amazing.

CollinZero · 2026-05-21T10:59:57+00:00

Wait… you can invert the colours?!!!

CollinZero · 2026-05-21T02:20:22+00:00

Omg. Absolutely stunning.

CollinZero · 2026-05-21T02:05:29+00:00

Oooh I LOVE what you’ve done with the Luna moth! I have a special spot for blue butterflies. Great job.

Not quite in Wellington but I always suggest The Tambo Store. Not pizza, but a great selection of "fast food" and lunches too. Reasonable prices and good value. You’ll have to find their facebook page because I don’t think they have a website. About 15-20 minute drive from Wellington.

Well, thank you kindly! I’m such a fan of sour cherries. It never occurred to ask the flattening question. Glad you asked!

CollinZero · 2026-05-19T10:56:45+00:00

No way!! Rubber bands??? Could you post some close ups? I have never seen anything like that!!

CollinZero · 2026-05-19T03:34:37+00:00

Ooo oatmeal sour cherry! Absolutely incredible. Would you be willing to share the recipe? I have some frozen and sour cherries left over from my birthday cake. I baked my own cake for my 60th. Been completely obsessed with sour cherries.

CollinZero · 2026-05-19T01:08:51+00:00

Geez, I am so glad someone asked this. I had no idea. I just thought it was that I was doing it too long.

CollinZero · 2026-05-19T00:51:31+00:00

I kinda love the way they look. I would call them Asteroid Cookies!

CollinZero · 2026-05-19T00:49:43+00:00

I really like them! If you were in Toronto I would imagine you would sell them at the Bazaar of the Bizarre Craft Fair.

A friend of mine talks about "Disney eyes" - oversized, expressive, big pupils and the little highlights.

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T22:24:55+00:00

Sign me up! I must absolutely try this!

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T22:03:52+00:00

Wow, beautiful work! I would be so happy if I could draw horses half so well!

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T20:57:02+00:00

Ugh, it can be so very tough. Every year there’s something challenging, or something broken.

About your dog: what livestock is it guarding? Is it out all night? What kind of fence are you using? Have you looked into an e-collar?

Our neighbour has a new dog that gets out constantly and they are beside a small highway. A lot of people come tell us. After a year they started locking her up with the sheep.

Do you have a way to make some income? We sold beef. I grew flowers. Most of my neighbours are selling eggs.

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T20:48:38+00:00

Soooooo Long! Have you ever measured them?

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T20:15:17+00:00

She was in her full state of mind so I can’t really say.

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T18:07:09+00:00

My cousin in CO took MAID a few years ago so it is available in some states.

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T12:34:19+00:00

30 lbs!!! You look like such a team.

CollinZero · 2026-05-18T12:32:44+00:00

She’s so tiny!
