First yield of the year


I bought a strawberry plant at Ikea several weeks ago and it has been very happy on our balcony so far. Here is one of the two berries that were ready yesterday. A photo of an unripe one can be seen here: Balcony strawberry, unripe. I also noticed that one of our tomato plants is flowering! Seems quite early to me, though it has been warm enough.

It looks good enough to eat.

I just discovered a earlier that two baby robins have left the nest. Or one is still there. I have photographed those and will show them on Monday.

Thank you for the comments, everyone. Our local strawberry grower just put up a roadside stall across from our apartment yesterday and I'm looking forward to checking out their offerings.
