Thought I would add a little exciting update.
Last year just a few months after losing my partner I planted some Snow White strawberry bare root plants in our old (upwards of 30 yrs) brick round wishing well that’s been filled in with soil…..I was quite disappointed when no flowers or plants came of it but despite the cold long winter and no cover, the leaves remained strong and healthy.
I have just seen that they are finally flowering! A year later than I hoped for but itl be exciting to actually grow white strawbs ?
On the carrot ball side of things, Iv got just 3 extremely fragile & delicate looking teeny sproutlings finally making an appearance after a long 3-4 week wait! They will be an interesting addition too.
