The Best Strawberry Recipes In The World
Are you ready for the best strawberry recipes in the world? I have gathered all my recipes from family and friends for today’s post. Where I live the stores are just starting to get strawberries that are ripe and juicy. I bet you can taste them just thinking about a delicious juicy strawberry, right? This year I planted my first raised garden with strawberry plants right here in Southern Utah. I have had plants before up north but not here.
I decided on the Sequoia plants because they produce larger strawberries in May of each year. I have had the ever-bearing ones, but the fruit is smaller and I would rather have large fruit for a month or two than for six months where I live. The great thing about strawberries they keep producing year after year!!
I decided I not only wanted vegetables in my yard but I wanted some fruit that would keep on producing year after year with very little work. My yard is too small for fruit trees and I’m not up to taking care of fruit trees right now in this stage of my life. I’ll trade, barter or whatever with people for fruit if it comes to that in my lifetime. Here is a great link about growing strawberries: Growing Plants by Bonnie Plants They show how to plant them, when to plant them, how to fertilize them, and everything else you need to know about gardening. It’s a great resource for composting, vegetables and so much more.
I have a PRINTABLE at the bottom of my post with all of these recipes.

Next spread the cookies on top of the pudding and then place the strawberries on top of the cookies. Scoop the rest of the pudding on this layer. Top with whipped cream and garnish with a few strawberries before serving. Serve chilled.
