Hi my name is Debs and I am trying to start growing my own fruit possibly veg but due to garden being small need to use pots. Not been successful so far. Tried carrots last year and they were mouldy Tried Strawberries this year and although got three strawberries they were a bit funny shaped and had holes in them . I have taken pictures of the plants as they are now but do not know how to put these on the site so as you experts can advise me if they are dead or can be revived for next year. Been told to leave them and simply cover with straw. HELP PLEASE

Welcome to the vine Debs. What I do is transfer my photos to my PC, edit them then just save them on the desktop. To get them on your post, click "Go Advanced" then click on "Manage Attachments" & follow the prompts..............Good luck.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Hello Debs and welcome! Its been a weird year for most things. I've written this year off and am looking forward to trying again in 2013.
Your strawberry plants should be fine overwinter. You normally keep them for 3 years before replacing them.Comment

I forgot to mention, I lost at least half my strawbs to ants, they buried in & ate the fruit from the inside.Originally posted by Debbedy37 View Postsigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Hello and a very warm welcome to the Vine
It's not been a very good year weather-wise, so better luck next time.

Hello from down here.
My straws were either eaten by slugs - because of the wet - or dried up and crispy because of the earlier drought!

Hello and welcome, Debs.
Does this mean the strawberry stick I planted three years ago is technically dead, even though it has leaves?Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostMy Very Bleak Garden Blog
