With regards to your comment on my last post - yes my new raised beds will be exactly the same as yours. I'm having six raised beds built of sleepers doubled up. The expense means some saving up needs to be done first as I will need soil and stone a0t the same time too. I've been very impressed by your beds.Jo@awholeplotoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525039817338877634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-40597104204845428142016-06-02T10:44:33.393+01:002016-06-02T10:44:33.393+01:00No, I have not found this.

Our Strawberries are at the same stage so this is a job we will have to do soon. I did read that if you were after too much when the plants are fruiting that it waters down the flavour. Have you found this to be true?

Such excitement yesterday, I could not resist trying the first one to ripen. It was so sweet,I'm determined to get them before the birds. The squirrels, however ,have dug up my baby Spring onions, I guess I will have to find some protection for them.

So far this year, we are at the same level as last...but the new raspberry/blackberry canes are just starting to flower, so I'll have to figure something out for those.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-71350516319564072602016-06-01T13:47:52.224+01:002016-06-01T13:47:52.224+01:00Nifty idea - like the idea of growing them in plas...Nifty idea - like the idea of growing them in plastic crates.<br /><br />The previous tenant left some of the larger plastic bread delivery crates on my plot so I may re-purpose them into a movable strawberry feast!JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204701718676401963noreply@blogger.com
