Strawberries in tubs
Strawberries in tubsI brought a few strawberry plants from the allotment that we are giving up this year. It was either move them to our other allotment or bring them home. I planted up 3 short troughs and they are doing so well, in fact better fruit. Probably because they get more attention here, so home more will come.
No guessing what is for pud this evening. I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Strawberries in tubsThey look good.

Re: Strawberries in tubsWatch out for the cheeky blackbirds - they seem to know when the strawberries are just right for picking. Enjoy
Re: Strawberries in tubsOur strawberries are both strawed and netted, but the birds still find their way in, but with difficulty, and we don't get too many damaged ones.
Re: Strawberries in tubsTouch wood, nothing has got at mine yet, either here or on the allotment. Something to look out for though as I have seen magpies in the field opposite.

Re: Strawberries in tubsOur tub of strawberries in the greenhouse is way behind the two outside beds.
Re: Strawberries in tubsWe have had a good picking from our 3 tubs and still the fruit comes. The fruit is far better than the plants left on the allotment.
