Now that June has arrived, it's strawberry time in Central New York. A number of farms and berry patches are getting ready to open U-pick fields for the season.
I suppose I could grow a small container garden on our apartment balcony. I suppose one tomato plant is better than none. And maybe I will. Or maybe, I'll have time (I don't) to take my Townsquare co-workers up on their offer to start an office garden. Who knows. My point is, the title of this post is "5 Things I'm Planting in my Imaginary Garden". And right now I don't have an actual garden so, we'll stay with the theme. I've added pictures from my actual gardens past, just because.
If strawberries are kind of your thing, this festival will be too.
There Really Is A Festival Dedicated To Strawberries In New York
In New York, the tasty strawberry fruit is hitting its active season right in the middle of June. If you want to be surrounded by everything strawberry, then Suffolk County is where you'll be driving to.

One of the advantages to living in Central New York is the ability to be close to where your food is actually grown. If you love berries, you can find them at your favorite farmer's market - or you can pick fresh berries yourself, right in the Utica-Rome area.
