convey the impression that it is great |
deal of trouble to raise strawberries, when |

of money to begin, and if you cannot afford |
to plant large bed, planta small one and
raise your own plants. In this case it is not |
the first step which costs, but It is the one
that tells. and we also have in view the
the well being of our family.
