Husband was inspecting the strawberry plants yesterday morning and noticed that we have some blushing berries!! Here’s a photo that I took when I got home from work yesterday:
I’m hoping they get bigger as they ripen, since these are looking pretty tiny still! I’ve actually never witnessed strawberry growth on a plant, having always bought my berries. So this has been pretty exciting for me.
So, those strawberries seem to be the product of successful strawberry pollination. We also have non-berries– flowers that must not have gotten pollinated at all and are just sort of there. They haven’t grown or changed much, and I expect that they will fall off or something (should I clip them? I need to look into this).
We also have bulbous berries (isn’t bulbous such a wonderful word! It’s onomatopoetic — if being bulbous had a sound… and i think there’s a word for that– a word having a sound that the thing would sound like if it had a sound… but I digress… back to bulbous berries).
Husband thinks that these are a product of uneven pollination. They’re definitely growing into berries, but they’re ugly little malformed things. Hopefully they still taste good! 
Some of the plants are starting to put out new growth! I’m hoping that this means another round of flowers (and another chance, hopefully, to perfect my hand-pollination technique).
I’ve added a second photo of a bulbous strawberry…
