Strawberries

Anita bought 4 strawberry plants at random in a supermarket a few years ago.  They made really nice strawberries; juicy and flavourful, and not small either.  So I propagated them via the runners, and now we have a nice strawberry patch.   The problem is... can you spot the strawberry plants in this picture?  No, neither can I.   Time for some serious weeding and reorganising.



The gap in the rain has actually been long enough for the soil to become workable (just) so I've forked over the area, taking out the strawberries, putting them to one side, and getting the weeds out.   Fertilised the ground, rotavated it, and put in 4 rows of plants, about 80 in all.   Much better.  And there's some plants left over to give away.   Some for Leo, and some for Marie, at the minimum.  Maybe Christian and Jacqueline would like some....

It's always a pleasure to give plants to friends...and such a pleasure to receive them.
