Our local garden centre still has strawbs and I am sure Lidl are about to have or have just had strawbs in again.

When I bought my plants two years ago, I'm certain it was mid-June, so go shopping and give it a go!

If you buy the ones that have been in cold storage, you can plant up to about mid to late July. You need 60 days of growing time and you will get a crop this year.
