First Strawberry

Is on its way

 

The Blackbirds are very hungry at the moment with lots of fledglings to feed.

 

Woo hoo. Good stuff. Will go out and check mine. Think I am a few weeks away though.

 

You lucky divil Ziggy have to wait ages up here in Yorkshire for a Strawberry,saying that mine are flowering already which is a first for me

 

Been out and checked - I have flowers and green looking strawberries (small) - nothing resembling red though. I am up on the North East coast. Suppose to be minus 2 tonight. Better get the garden fleece out of the garage and cover everything up. ❄

 

Looking good there. Closest ours are are just a few flowers that look like they may or may not come out. Few more sunny days and we're golden.

 

I planted my "Ken Muir" 10 plants in the strawberry tower this week so 90 days or is it 60 ? I should be picking some

well good for you Zig the 1st this year

 

Nice one Zigs, now you will have to go a buy some cream to go with that Strawberry

 

That's exciting. I found this, earlier today, but no actual strawberries as yet x

 

Just flowers here too at the moment. I must get my netting support built, I didnt expect them to come out so soon.

 

Yep - off on Thursday. Netting is a priority. Blueberries also coming on nicely. Mr Blackbird is currently otherwise engaged with eating my grass seeds to not notice the berries. Can see me and him falling out!!!!!

 

Very jealous none of my plants have flowers yet but they have all grown loads in this last week so im hoping they will soon

 

Still there this morning

 

Just flowers on one plant here too. A couple of others look like they're about to flower and a couple of youngsters who just want to produce new leaves at the moment.

 

Here's ours! Most of the strawberries are salvaged from runners that set up camp on top of suppressants.
