VEGAN STRAWBERRY VANILLA PIE

Vegan Strawberry and Vanilla Pie, fresh, creamy, a Spring celebration! Inspired by seasonal products, and by the beautiful strawberries we picked in the garden. I would love some tips I learned from my own experience and research. It requires some care, such as a well-nourished soil with no weeds, frequent cleaning of older and dry leaves, daily watering on the hottest summer days and keeping the neighborhood free from snails. Good padding keeps the fruit dry and away from the soil, as direct contact tends to rot the still green strawberries. Strawberry plants cast long stems, stalks or guides, which form small roots and in contact with the earth give rise to a new plant. It is important to change strawberries every 2-4 years so they remain productive, transplantation is an effective method of expanding and renewing strawberry culture. As it is a small plant with shallow roots, it is possible to keep it in pots or flower boxes on the balcony. Hope you enjoy this seasonal and delicious pie, the base is very simple, healthy and crunchy, the filling is so creamy and flavourful, you can add any fresh fruit you like on the top.
