      Strawbs should be outside - if they've been indoors all their life, start to get them used to the outdoors now.
      Stand them outside daytimes, back indoors at night for a week, then you can leave them out permanently.

      welcome, btw.

            Hi flubba-jubba. Your things are looking really good, with regard to your seaweed fertiliser - this as a really good tonic for plants, particularly if they're a bit stressed but it doesn't actually work so much as a feed to provide the nutrients to make a plant grow and fruit, for this try a tomato feed, you can get organic ones of this too,it's good for anything that's going to bear fruit, strawbs, toms etc.
            I've had trouble with my olive tree which I've had for a few years now, it has shed practically all its leaves, I was recently at the RHS Cardiff show and asked ones of the growers there who raised olive trees what was wrong and he said that they had found that if they were in terracota pots, which mine was, the roots got too hot and this caused leaves to drop. So I have now put mine in a plastic pot with some new compost and seaweed fertiliser and am hoping it will soon sprout new leaves.
