Revamped strawberry bed.


Revamped strawberry bed.

The strawberry plants were getting a bit old in the tooth and the alpine strawberry was taking over so I decided to buy new plants for this year and turn the area into a flower bed. I used some large rocks from up the garden, planted some Primula and Brians Cyclamen.

Its always good to have a change , I'm sure you will still find room for your strawberries we would miss ours if we didn't grow them ....

Frozen solid here since we got home last Monday HB. Nice to see a freshly planted bed. Glad you've got another spot for the strawbs. I'm hoping for some fruit as well this year. :). I just put an Apricot in the greenhouse, a dwarf one in a pot. I don't think there'll be fruit on it for a couple of years as it's so small, but hopefully, in time! :)

A lovely new bed which will continue to give extra colour for much of the year.

Well done you working in such cold conditions. The sign of a good gardener...one who isn't put off by the weather, there's always something to do.
