Thank you.
I got some from my nearest 'Dobbies' [25 miles away] for £4.99.
My more local garden centres didn't have it. That being
the only garden centre, as the others have closed down.
So I built a little frame [from wood - B&Q £4.97] to attached the net.
I even managed to eat my first strawberry. And very nice it was too.
Like my spuds, I've been counting how much these strawbs have cost.
2 planters [I opted for the fancy ones as well] - £20
Soil - £4
Plants - £8
Net - £5
Wood - £5
TOTAL £42
Look like I'll get a reasonable quantity of strawbs, possible 50?
Or, in other words: 84p a strawberry. That sounds like good value. Not.
Hopefully, they'll pay themselves back over the next few years.
Oh well, never mind.
