    2 cups cream...whipped. Blend in a can condensed sweet milk, a little vanilla, pint puréed strawberries. Freeze overnight. Homemade ice cream. Delicious. I really enjoy your families adventures. Thank y’all and God Bless.

    Great idea. Did you have to water them by hand or did the gutter system hold enough water in between rains?

      It’s required extra watering…… and still didn’t perform as well as in-ground applications.

      @@McGieHomesteadAdventures thanks for replying.
      I am thinking about using and eb/flow watering system on a closed loop. I am just stuck a bit on how to get the water through and under the strawberries without too much effort. I am considering running the water through a 1/2 pvc with holes drilled here and there and have the pump run every hour for 5 minutes. I'll ve filling the watering bucket every few days, but it seems like my best bet.
      did you en up with any soil burn or other things to be concerned with?
