Thanks for sharing... One distinct advantage I have over, what seems to be the majority of members here, is climate. I don't have to worry about freezing temperatures. How old were the strawberry plants when they started to bear fruit?

We did a make-shift clear plastic greenhouse over the grow bed for the winter. Good thing we did because we got hit with several days of freezeing weather here in the Houston area. Everything made it through with just minor cold damage. The cilantro however got attacked by what looked like aphids when the weather started to warm up. It was the only plants that got hit so we just pulled them up and cleaned up the grow bed. The lettuce and strawberries are doing great. The strawberries are starting to flower and develop berries.

any updates on the Cilantro? This is a herb I would like to grow as well, wondering how it performs?
