I've just seen Simon off our allotments picking strawberries. He has been for a couple of weeks from plants in his greenhouse!
What a good idea! I think I'll be doing that next year!

I've had loads of strawberries from my polytunnel over the last few weeks. I dug them up from my strawberry bed in september and overwintered them in hanging baskets in there.
Now that they've nearly finished, the outdoor strawberries are coming into their own
What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

How many do you have per basket, assuming one would be best but can't tell on your photos.Originally posted by skeggijon View PostI've had loads of strawberries from my polytunnel over the last few weeks.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I have my tunnel strawberries in 8" pots. They come in at the end of November if there has bee frosts or end of December if not. They started cropping at about the end of April and are basically just about finished now. They get thrown outside and then I bring in another lot in pots which have basically set lots and lots of fruit which is still green. They are ripening up quickly now and supplementing the out side ones that are coming on line.
I like them in pots because I can move them around as I change the cropping in the beds. I can also hang bread baskets of the crop bars. I did have some ever bearers in baskets a couple of years ago but wasn't impressed with the plants. If I had crop bars that ran the length of the tunnel I think I'd consider them again. I used to lift the baskets down and put them in buckets of water to soak them properly, otherwise I did think they weren't quite good enough."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."

Probably no more than 6" deep. The baskets I use are from Poundland, but after the plants have finished cropping - which they should any day now, I plant them outside to give them a chance to produce runners for next years plants.Originally posted by jonny the plant pot View PostWhat do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

Couple of pics - most of the pots are on the ground between the tomatoes at the mo. The strawberries are there just hiding!
