Strawberries

We love strawberries, fresh from the garden or with cream. Unfortunately birds, slugs and other bugs like them too. We had to dig them all up and burn them last year because they got a disease.

So now we only have a few small young ones. But there are a few Strawberries to see.

I've taken some pictures of them growing. Watch how things change as you go down the page. Click on the pictures to see bigger pictures!

Here is the new Strawberry bed at the end of March. The plants are very small.
