Lucky you. The first 3 strawbs of our plants were consumed with great delight by Madmax and the boys on Saturday.

Totally agree!........... I managed to cadge enough timber to build an arbour today and it only cost me the onion sets that I had left and were going begging!
Also swapped a dark purple flowered hollyhock plant that I am sick of for a carrier bag full of 7 star perennial caulis!

You have strawberries fruiting already!!!!!!! What variety are they? Assume that you've got them inside. Mine are just starting to flower but won't be fruiting until next month which is pretty normal for round here.
