Fruity Things

I have just sorted out our strawberry plants. In the Autumn we potted up runners from our main plants and put them in the greenhouse for over wintering. Now the weather is warming up we've moved them to our recently bought cold frame. We did lose a few plants but we have twenty looking good, which will more than double the number we already have.


And our rhubarb is coming along very nicely. This is it's second year and it will be the first year that we will be able to harvest it. The variety is Stockbridge Arrow. We're growing it in a small triangle of earth between the greenhouse and the garden path. Possibly a little too close together, but we'll see how well it does and we always have the option of splitting it and finding another location for half of it.
