  • Oooh lovely, some late strawberries

    Finally, a small strawberry crop. This summer's were c**p, but now there are a few appearing on my perpetual plants, and I'm managing to pick them before the slugs/woodlice get to them.

    Snap ! Didn't get many from my crop at the lotty, but I've got some in a hanging basket at home which I had for breakfast today. (Though the snails round here must fly, 'cos three had made their way into it)

      I'm still getting about 6 big fruit every day from a variety "Malling Opal" which is a perpetual.I am growing 12 plants in a large tub. Had a small crop at begining of the season and now this regular crop since late August with more flowers coming. Very Pleased
      It's not the growing old I mind but the growing stupid with it!

        My strawberries are still cropping but only a few at a time. I am picking them when they are ready and freezing them for jam/wine making later in the year. By then, I should have enough

          We have aromel which ar cropping superbly well. As a bonus we bagged 90 runners off the 50 original plants to ensure we have loads for next year. Aromel are superb, big, very tasty fruit

            I presume that 'perpetual' in this instance means they crop over a long period???

              Yes Snadger, most strawberries have a flush of flower and fruit in the Spring and then stop flowering and producing fruit.

              The 'perpetual' varieties keep on flowering all throughout the summer, and producing fruit. We're still picking a small bowl a day from ours.
