I do remember though that she had a strawberry patch at the side of the garden where it soon filled up with strawberry plants. We would pick the odd one or two when we were outside (by we I mean my two brothers and I). By the end of the summer we were a bit fed up of strawberries, until the next year. My daughter's future mother-in-law gave me a strawberry plant a few years ago and I still have it in a pot. We've had some lovely strawberries off it so far and my husband has just transplanted it plus the new plants from runners into bigger pots.<br /><br />Joan (Wales)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-4479060358550012102016-08-18T09:30:28.696+01:002016-08-18T09:30:28.696+01:00An excellent tip if you find that one (or more) of...An excellent tip if you find that one (or more) of your present plants have grown particularly tasty strawberries. I bought a couple of plants in a container from a Tamar Valley grower's market stall - and the taste is heavenly, real sweet strawberry taste. I am looking forward to next year's crop!
