    Strawberry Plants and Fire damage

    Hi All,

    Unfortunately we had a fire at the weekend caused by a overheating outdoor socket, which has damaged the plastic on my GH, I had strawberry plants in there which must been damaged by the heat/smoke, are they likely to regrow? some still have green on them!

    Thanks very much

    Strawbs are pretty hardy - the ones with green still on them will probably pull through... God willing...
    Might be worth picking up a few replacements for the worst looking.

      I had a similar problem which i shouldn't really admit to!

      I had straw around my strawberries one year and always use the ash from the woodburner aroiund the plants as a potash feed.
      The problem was I didn't realise the ash was still hot when i placed it around the plants and the straw went up in smoke and flames while I was standing watching from the greenhouse.!

      Strawberries came back from the scorching and I had a reasonable crop though!
