I start life as a small potted plant..

My friends and I are then all planted up into grow bags, where we get all the feed and water we need..

After a few weeks of growing we start to produce flowers.

Another few weeks and these flowers turn into green, perfectly formed fruits..

Woohoo! I've turned red, which means I am nearly ready to be picked by the professionals!

I've been picked! I must be a great variety!

I'm now in my punnet ready to be sold..

Look at my fancy packaging!

This is why we grow our strawberries at Oaklands Fruit Farm.. Enjoy!
