Strawberries and Rhubarb Bed

Some of the strawberry plants that I put in the greenhouse a few weeks ago have developed flowers already so I decided to plant them out in their designated area around my rhubarb crown. I managed to manure the bed in January so the soil is rich with worms 🙂

I dug all my strawberries up last year as most were eaten by a larvae. I saved a few strong offsprings so hopefully these will not be subject to the same fate this year! Has anybody else had strawberry larvae? I thought strawbs were hardy and resistant to pests and diseases!

Hardy Little Strawberries!

The exciting thing about my new home is finding new plants hiding in my garden! Look at these cheeky strawberry runners peering through the paving cracks….

I thought as I was seperating my other strawberries,  I would give these little troublemakers a chance and see if they survive once potted.

I’ve put them in my lean-to greenhouse now to warm up and give them a chance to grow strong before I plant them out on the plot 🙂
