Ok, so a couple of my strawberry plants have got runners on-now what? Do I just cut them off and put them in some compost?

PS-Tigger-the tomatoes and cucumbers are looking brill!

Hi,

The tomatos and cucumbers are ok but do look a little poorly-gonna put them in growbags tomorrow (yes I know I should've already done that but been busy moving house!) I'll keep you posted!

Hi Jopsy,

Welcome to a very friendly forum
I'm a teacher too so I definitely know what you mean about gardening helping with stress!

Hi everyone, newbie here again

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question...

A newbie learning here so beware! What exactly does earthing up mean?

The compost bin I ordered from the council has arrived today along with an 'how to' guide! I only ordered it on the 10th of April so really chuffed with quick delivery!
