I am delighted to dedicate this post to Ami, from Florida, USA of Southeast Florida Garden Evolvement blog, the first commenter of my previous "The Garden at Hotel Theme Park - Genting Highlands Part 2 " post. She's having "a new look for her garden corner". Go on and head over to her blog to view the lovely flowers.
Update on June 2nd, 2011
If you wish to buy lots of strawberries home and worry about what to do with the excess, fear not! You can freeze them and store them in the fridge. Read this post, "How To Freeze Strawberries" by Bumble Lush.
Oh my. Look at all of those strawberry plants. I would not be safe there at all. I love strawberries. What sigh? LOL!

What huge leaves on the strawberry plants. No wonder they have to put out signs that say "Do not eat."
ReplyDeleteOh, now this is my kind of place. I couldn't help myself and would definitely be eating those. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOoooh strawberries, but nothing beats the fields around Tumbledown on a warm summers day full of strawberries and smelling utterly irresistable. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteHi AB~~ This looks like a fabulous way to grow strawberries. I bet the bags help keep the soil moist and having the plants raised makes for easier picking. Nice.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are making me crave strawberries :-)
ReplyDeleteThis will be a hard place for me to leave :) Very magic place with all those strawberries!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and I have been thinking of going to Cameron for the longest time.
ReplyDeleteDo not eat? Max 3 person?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why?
Aren't strawberry farm for picking & eating?
Hmmm??
growing temptations!
ReplyDeleteI do have the wild variety growing in one of my more wild flower bed, I leave them for the critters to eat, as they get to them 1st usually!
my WW is about digging for signs of spring. Happy WW.
Wow, what a great use of space!! I like how they're stacked like that. Must make for very easy harvesting. One thing though, if they're all in little planting holes, what do they do with the runners? Seems a waste to redo the whole contraption every year?
ReplyDeleteLove that do not eat sign!
This farm looks neater that the one I saw in Cameron Highlands. Maybe because this is newer. I love strawberries in ice-cream ;-D
ReplyDeleteHi, everyone, thank you very much for the visit and nice comments. Actually, I am craving for strawberries too when I look at these pictures. I love straberries in ice-cream, on waffle and fruit cake.
ReplyDeleteJames, here's the signage explained: The farm here allow visitors to pick the strawberries at RM 8.00 per 100gms. However, we are not allowed to eat before we pay, therefore no testing while picking. So, better learn some tricks of how to pick sweet, delicious strawberries before going in. At any one time, maximum 3 persons are allowed in the same lane while picking the strawberries.
Stephanie, this strawberry farm in Genting is smaller than those you find in Cameron Highlands. This is how they improvise due to space constraints. They also have a mushroom farm, organic bean sprout farm, a nursery that sells flowers and orchids here.
Wendy, you are asking me intelligent questions which I cannot answer at the moment. When I visited the farm, I don't even know what a strawberry plant/flower looks like. I was too busy taking photos then. So, please forgive me for not asking about such things. Now, I'll know what smart questions to ask them during my next visit :)
The sign not 'strong' enough should add in "Do not eat, poisonous" haha. Nice pixs of the plants & fruits. tQ
ReplyDeleteyummmmy...strawberries!
ReplyDeleteThese strawberries look so juicy! They have a great system, don't they?
ReplyDeleteWhat an innovative way to grow strawberries! Lovely farm! I love strawberries but the ones we get here (from a neighbouring state) aren't all that sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering! Good thing I wasn't there- I wouldn't be able to resist no matter what the sign said!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to stop by & "Thank you" for visiting me. WOW!Look at those strawberries! I wish I could grow strawberries ( well I can grow them but), I would never see a one! All the wildlife outside would eat it! When we first moved into our house 20 yrs. ago there were strawberries planted here, and like I said the animals got there before me!Too slow I guess hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHi, it's me again. I just got done exploring your blog and reading about you. You are very informative and have a lot of interesting things to say.I will be back to visit again for sure.Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there's a strawberry farm in Genting! time to go back there again.
ReplyDeleteHello Autumn Belle,
ReplyDeleteI am playing catch up after a bout of the flu and some computer problems. It was very difficult to view blogs on a monitor that goes black every few minutes. I am now using my daughter's monitor. Congratulations on your 22nd anniversary and what a romantic place to spend it. I enjoyed your posts on the Genting Highlands and the photos are mind blowing especially the temple in the clouds. Your country is very beautiful.
Thank you for visiting our Garden Blog and following....
ReplyDeletei wanna pick those berries
