:eek: That must be some size of a garden! Do you keep all the produce yourself or have you sold any on at all?


There must be a right lot of runners off those plants every year!

I gave a lot of runners to a mate but incredibly he managed to kill them all. Dunno how, strawbs are pretty indestructible.

Last year was my first so I only got a few punnets.

Will I sell? Dunno, I can eat a lot of strawbs.

My garden is only 16 foot long on all sides (ie a square). up against the fence I have soft fruit bushes, the rest is strawberries planted in strips of gravel thats over sand.

I have last week planted 100 plants from aldi in my patented wash basket planters. I will post up some pics, but dont hold your breath

Thank you cootambear, think I'll have a further look at the garaguette & royal sovereign.

ETA: Oh and congrats on your bargain!

My thanks to you Sir (or Madam), for the tip!

Does anyone have any vouchers for Mr Foth.....ls - perhaps free postage? I want to buy the Strawberries but of course am open to more money saving help.

I also ordered the Royal Sovereign from Mr F, waiting for delivery now. The code given anoce worked for me.
You can get 30 plants from T&M for £8.50 in Tesco vouchers if you have some.. They arrive in 3 different sorts , early, main&late,10 of each..

Joyful

Thanks for the code. Unfortunately it's not working for this order.

I bought 3 plants last year, 1 early, 1 main and 1 late. i took runners and I now have a raised bed full of plants which cost me about £4-£5 in total! Not for everyone as it means waiting a couple of years for a good crop but certainly a cheap way of doing it!

Anyone ordered anything from Mr F?
I ordered the strawberries on Sat and didn't even get an email about dispatch yet. They say 3-5 days.. (obviously I know working day, but it will be 5 working days tomorrow and I still not heard).

Thanks

I ordered strawberries on Friday and no news either.

They did 3 days to dispatch my last seed order when their website states seed orders are dispatched same day! It took 5 days from dispatch to arrive.

I ordered this a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with it:

All the plants arrived looking very healthy and I feel like it was a great deal, and even though I don't like El Santa's I got 5 other varieties that all look interesting.
