fourth of july is high summer in these parts and the berry season is booming along...the surviving six wild strawberry plants ( first six photos )from new york are all exhibiting new growth ( although the stolons from on that appeared a while back seem to have vanished...the plants have been abused by critters [ digging at other plants i believe] and that may be the culprit here ) and have produced new stems and leaves...i presume they are working more on roots than daughter plants at the moment and that an expansion of territory may be something for next season...still...we are a good distance from autumn...you never know...the established plants are producing away...singly ( seventh and eighth ) and in more social groups ( ninth and tenth )...there are still yellow blooms ( yellow Jean! ) ( eleventh and twelfth ) popping up which means more berries as the pollinators have their way with them...the seaon will go on until october if last year was nay indication...the birds will have their berries.
