    They look particularly enticing. Well done. Like others I have a huge crop but still green.

    I have two two plastic sack strawberry planters against a South facing wall.
    The mix was a 50/50 ish home compost and commercal general purpose compost.
    They both had a layer on chicken pellets as I was filling.
    Heres a nice one I picked today.
