Strawberry

June 23rd: Another market purchase, £1 each strawberries, this was the best of the bunch, it had a flower!

Potted in to a larger pot we'll see if it will bear fruit or send out runners, either will be fine as I think they last up to 3 years but I could be wrong but runners give me more plants.


June 28th: Is that a strawberry I see before me?

Well almost, it shows promise.

July 7th: Our first!

This must be one of the smallest strawberries I've ever seen.

 

July 10th: I have some suspicions about this plant, the fruit seems to ripen before it plumps up which leads me to suspect that its a wild strawberry rather than a more common commercial version. If this is the case then were looking at small, sweet berries and the Mrs can confirm that . . . she ate it!

 In conclusion

 

Not a failure as such, more of a disappointment. If I do a strawberry next year I think we're going to have to find something more on the unusual side. Suggestions welcome
