Today when we visited our local garden centre I spotted lots of big healthy strawberry plants and loads of different varieties. Each plant was £2 (so not cheap) but I thought it would be fun to buy a selection that we can taste test, and hopefully have some plantlets that we can grow on for next year. Since I want to make sure these expensive plants are well looked after I have planted them in the garden so I can keep a close eye on them! We treated ourselves to 5 varieties:
Red Gauntlet
Pegasus
Cambridge Favourite
Florence
Elsanta
The one in the foreground of the below pic is Elsanta:
I really hope we get a reasonable crop of strawberries! In other news we made our first harvest from this years sowings.... albeit a very small one:
These are the first of the rainbow radishes from the Psychedelic Salad kit.
