fresa haircut

I've read that to rejuvenate a june-bearing strawberry bed you're supposed to mow over the plants after they're done fruiting (with a lawn mower, actually) and then feed heavily with compost. Let them grow back the rest of the season before mulching over in fall.

I didn't want to drive a lawn mower over my bed so instead I gave the plants a haircut with some old scissors. Daughter thinks they all look sad now.
