    Actually, I think God made the strawberry, but I'm glad you got to nourish it along. The slime mold looks cool. Will it hurt the flowers?

    Okay, okay...GOD made the strawberry! :) And I'm happy He did!

    Daddy says the slime mold won't hurt, and might actually help, because it allows the soil to absorb nutrients better or something like that. It's a symbiotic relationship.

    I'll eat the short short cake...it can be widdle...you can give it to me...because I'm cute! No--you must eat it. You have one bite, Jon have another! Then you can say you fulfilled that whole bearing fruit command in the Bible. Ok, maybe you should do more than just one fruit. Either case, the garden looks wonderful love, just lovely! I'm so proud and glad you didn't give up.

    Slime mold...little boys would just love to get their hands on that. Too fun. See ya at 7:30 tonight for the "secret" meeting at church. Mu ha ha ha ha

    Attack of the slime mold, AHHHHH!

    Would make a good B Movie, I suppose.

    Speaking of, are we still on for BMovies and FFV??

    Oh, it was so sad. Jon and I cut the little strawberry, and it was beautiful red all the way through. I had high hopes, because it smelled so good, and looked so good, but alas, it was pretty tart. I'm hoping it will get a little better as more strawberries come!

    Lydia, this is Dave. At school we get large patches of the slime mold on our playground when it gets wet because it is covered in wood chips. The kids go crazy. It is kind of fun to watch.

    Your garden is beautiful. Congrats on the first fruit, even if it is sour. The season is just beginning!

    Attack of the slime mold...that should be our first spoof horror film. It's so catchy.
