bought strawberry plants in flower
Hi all,
I bought some Elsanta plants from tesco (£1.50 for three) and they are small plants but well in flower, with some small fruits forming.
Can I plant them up in my troughs or do I need to keep them in smaller pots for this season?

Hi,
I would think they can go straight in your troughs. They should be fine. No need to start them off in smaller pots.0 -
Thanks Linda! I grew strawberries once many years ago but neglected them and they got weevilled, I think. I wasn't sure if planting them in larger containers would "upset" them, if you know what I mean.
I'm hoping the trough planting (on metal staging) will also keep the slugs and snails off... just have to net them against the naughty blackbirds now!I believe in the freedom of spinach and the right to arm bears.
