Our New Life in the Country: Strawberries

Strawberries

Time to plant the strawberries in their new bed I think!! This wonderful little picture reminded me that they are lying abandoned in their temporary troughs since the move.

They look healthy though after all this rain.

Hey ho hey ho it's off to work I go.

I had to buy new plants this year - just put them out a little while ago.

Here's hoping for strawberries this summer :)

I have just planted 6 strawberries in my new fruit cage. They are designed to take me through the whole season. The first two have now got flowers. Thought 6 would be enough to begin with as I know they have lots of runner babies.

Going to relocate all ours to a different section of the garden this year. All the runners I potted up recently are looking lovely and strong with all this rain.

This was my Blog, just me writing about our day to day life learning all about and then living the smallholding life. First we started on a farm in Oxfordshire, then we moved to a smaller place in Berkshire (both in England) and then we found a place of our very own at the bottom of a hillside in North Wales. Along for the ride were all our various animals, and we ended up with just our dogs, Suky and Mavis, our cat Ginger .... who secretly thinks he's one of the canine gang, a sheep called Ethel who wandered in off the road and stayed... and a roving band of egg laying chickens that live cheek by jowl with the local wildlife.

We grow our own fruit and vegetables, selling surplus plants and edibles at the gate. We sell the eggs the chickens lay, we reuse, recycle and rethink ... and life ticks over at a pace that suits us.

It was simply the wild and wacky ramblings of a 50 something townie turned country girl called Sue, who lost her heart to a sailor and started a new life in the country .... many years ago. On a path that took us from Cumbria to Oxfordshire, to Berkshire and then we found our home at the bottom of a wet and windy Welsh hillside by a busy main road.

Pull up a chair, grab a coffee and relax into a world of dogs, cats, chickens, polytunnels and veggies with the occasional grass munching sheep thrown in for good measure.

Sue xx
