Thanks Dafty. Are they more like an Alpine strawberry then? I don't like certain textures, strawberries with lots of seeds are a no-no for me.

No, they are normal, fleshy, not too seedy strawberries, just not large fruit. (I suppose they might be slightly seedier than some, but not like alpine/wild strawberries)

I love strawberries and have a few dozen of them growing this year.
Ill be growing some in hanging baskets, some in poundland grow bags, some in hanging plant sacs and a couple in these (they were in poundies for £2 so thought why not).

I have bought loads pounds land have elsanta and another typr bare root 2 plants for £1, I got a deal through GYO magazine a couple of weeks ago that are doing well already and I am seriously looking at this deal

Hope this helps

Personally now its a lot warmer and things are shooting I think its far to late to be planting bare roots, but hey if 10 of them take for that price you'll still have done well.

My supplier has some Fragoo Pink ready for us to sell at the GC next week - guess who'll be treating herself to some for her own garden :rotfl:
