always an option

thanks for that, they look great I nearly made the mistake of ordering from blackmoor nursery £1 a plant then I realised on checkout postage was £10! have to go with runners from t&m as the rhs shop is out of stock they do seem popular.

I grew mine in black boxes (the recycling ones our local council gave out a few years back) and had a great crop, sorry thats no consolation, do you think its white rot from an infected patch?

has anybody tried these? I'm short of space and wondered if it would be better idea to grow everbearer in the limited space i have, I was thinking mara des bois.

Ha ha he sounds gorgeous, i have a 2 year old tom, who despite being neutered at an early age makes very convincing attempts with our other male cat at what he's not supposed to do, he also opens the tin we keep my daughters hair bobbles in and picks them out takes them and stashes them in his bowl....

thanks I have only just got my allotment back following major earthworks over the winter and it is in a sorry state, i dont think i will be planting anything for a month or more anyway.
