My shed roof strawberry field

That one was incapable of honesty Zig. She was great fun though, even when she became my stalker after I'd called it off.

 

Interesting arrangement, cl1

Can't wait to see how it works for you

 

It doesn't end there. I intend to nail cut up bottles to the shed wall too. I'm going to run an experiment to see how productive I can make normally wasted space.

 

Found this article about companion planting for strawberries.

It just so happens I have some borage seeds (fortunately they never made it to the box, so I still have them). I bought them just because I like the appearance of borage and it is good for the bumblebees. I had no idea it might also be a good companion plant for strawbs.

 

I had to look up Borage .... it was a "well blow me down with a feather!" moment.

I actually grew that last summer All part of the wild flower seeds I scattered from a packet and hoped for the best with

Bit blurry but you get the idea ....

 

It'll keep coming back from seed Mum.

 

That's a good thing, right?

 

Oh yes, its easy enough to uproot if you get too many.

 

I've done something all "gardener-y" without even intending it: a self seeding patch

Thank you, Zigs

 

Clueless have you got enough strawberry plants for them there bottles,if not i can spare a dozen 'Alice'...give me a shout if you need any

 

Thanks, that's a very kind offer, but my dad has already said he's got some to spare, I just have to nip up to his allotment and get some

 

No worries

 

C1, this time next year your roof is gonna be covered in Strawberry plants

 

That's the plan.
