    I managed to get the free Elsanta strawberries on offer with the Daily Mail last week at Homebase then yesterday went to Aldi and got Christine,Honeyoye and Red Gauntlet. I would have liked to have tried Mae but couldn't find any at the 2 Aldi stores in the area.
    I have some Alice and Marshmallow which I bought at Hampton Court and Gardeners World live . Has anyone grown Christine I wondered what they were like.
    I got some Christine from Lidl last year (only bought them because thats my name!)
    I grew them in troughs in a mini plastic "Blow away" greenhouse and had a few berries at the end of May/early June.
    They tasted fantastic, but that might have been because they were the first of the year!!!
    I grew some runners in pots and have recently potted them on into troughs to try and get some more early fruit again this year.
