finally got to a ripe strawberry before whatever is eating them (despite being net’ed I might ad). God it was good! Only 1, and not massive but it was so sweet and flavorful how do you ever go back to store brought ones after that?!
You don’t. Homegrown strawbs have spoiled me for life. As has homegrown asparagus, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and green beans. And quite a lot of other veg that I haven’t grown for a while now. But home strawbs a pretty damn special.
Yass! Nothing compares. I would suggest planting in pretty much pure compost in a barrel or similar. Once it starts to yield though be prepared for asparagus for breakfast lunch and dinner for a few weeks. But so so good.
I shall pickle it! Haven’t been able to find the supermarket one I like for ages.
I have several Hex beds. Once I get the sunlight pattern figured out this is happening.
man dont talk to me about tomatoes at the moment. tomatoes are probably the biggest stress point in my life right now.
Got a decent amount but still very very green and the plants are clearly in distress.

Omg! Just realised I will be able to put asparagus in the new garden. 💚

Now I really want to grow asparagus.
