  • First strawberry flowers showing

    Last year I "inherited" a load of "used" strawberries in professional growbags from a local grower. These were placed in the tunnel and with one thing and another, forgotten about until a couple of weeks ago, since when they have had three good soakings with the hose. In spite of the fact that they all looked completely dead, I now have approx 65 strawberry plants sprouting away and they have started flowering - well chuffed !

              Not 100% but it's a pretty safe bet to assume Elsanta,

                The walled garden that I am reclaiming and restoring had it's first cherry blossom (edible cherry as opposed to flowering cherry) out today - along with the blackfly
