Treasured Berries

Ta-daaaaaa



We're getting a bit blase about these now - we've picked bowlfuls.  

We started last year with six plants of Cambridge Favourites and the slugs and cheesy-bobs beat us to everyone.  So we just propagated on some runners and left everything to its own devices over the winter.  

Now the plants are strong, lush and fruitful - and judging by the price in the supermarket, jolly good value!  More space next year I think!

Where does the time go?

It's nearly a year since I last posted here.  Shameful.  

The garden is blossoming - even if not everything is doing quite as it should.  Photos and confessions another day, but for today I shall bask in the glory that we picked half a pound of strawberries - the fourth or fifth day of picking - and there's plenty more to come.
