Strawberries = summer in a mouthful!

Imagine this, you wake up and have some strawberries scattered on your morning cereal, or perhaps some home-made strawberry jam on your toast, you’ve then got some strawberries tucked in to your lunchbox for a healthy snack, and maybe for dessert you’ve got a strawberry tart or some strawberries and other fruit mixed with yoghurt and honey, or maybe it’s the weekend and you can add some strawberries to your sparkling wine or pimms.   These are proper strawberries too mind you, not those hothouse grown, hard, strawberry flavoured bullets, but proper sun-warmed, luscious, juicy fruit with maximum strawberry taste!  Sounds good? Then get growing!

Quietly growing in the background

Hi all, did you miss me?  I was a bit shocked to realise that I haven't posted in nearly a month!  I think the blog and I have just been waiting quietly and impatiently for seeds to grow.  Also we have been doing more mundane things around the garden like repairing the lawn, shifting dirt piles, weeding, chopping down trees, and re-organising the front garden flower bed, so I haven't been too lazy, honest!

You may remember the seed packet bonanza that I mentioned in a previous post ... well I planted them out in seed trays shortly after they arrived and have been hovering over them like a broody hen ever since ... maybe that has more to do with the reason I haven't blogged, I've been too busy running to the greenhouse every 5 mins to see if anything has grown yet!
