I must admit, I was just wondering why I am growing something in excess of 40 Strawberry plants.
The Clucky has 10 Strawbs hanging outside her run, together with 5 Tomper plants sitting next to the run for when she fancies a snack.
9 Gooseberries, 4 Blackcurrants + loads lettuce (40+ & Coriander), Radishes eaten every day (at least 15 /day for the last 3 weeks, 80 bunches of spring onions that look like they will all mature at once, 300 + Beetroot (4 varieties)
The blackbirds must be wondering why there is so much, as they sit on the fence licking their lips.
Not ott at all, for 2 of us.Feed the soil, not the plants.
(helps if you have cluckies)

Last year, having planted loads of new plants in the hope of making jam, I had a complete disaster with them. First the frost got them, then the wet spring caused a lot of the green fruit to rot, then they got some kind of little maggots in them and finally the wasps ate them. I probably averaged less than a strawberry per plant, and jam was a non-starter. Hoping for better this year!A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.
