i bet you can't wait to eat them.......................

Well, yes. Nothing like sitting on my chair under the brolly with cherry toms one side and strawbs on the other side. Wisbech is known as Strawberry Town

ill be calling round to have a taste ken
i tried to grow strawberrys in apot like yours last year but no luck so will be interesting to see if they work for you

It surprises me where strawberries grow and they seem to be quite easy.

I know some commercial growers in the Wisbech area grow them in shelves made from rain getturing. There are also some folk who grow them in hanging baskets. I even had some given to me last year that were in a babies bath! Some trailers from that container, spread themselve out and rooted amongst the gravel and there is a membrane under the stones.

I don't know what this new variety taste like, but hopefully, we'll find out in June/July

I wondered what type of compost you use for your strawberries ?

Hi Carolyn

The compost in the strawberry pot is just bog standard multi compost with Miricle Grow and Water Gel crystals. I will be removing about the top couplle of inches and replacing with compost from my bins, as I will be doing to all my containers soon, or when I can work for more than a couple of minutes without running out of breath. :-)
