Do any of you remember me saying last year that I had to grow (almost) everything in pots 'cos of hubby? And do you remember me saying that when we 'do the garden' he/we will be putting in a little veg patch (only about 5' x 7', but hey! it's a 'patch')
WELL.....we have some time off over Easter, and he has said a couple of times that we will get started on the garden and get the veg patch done!
YIPPEEEEEEEEE

Oooo, AND, when he saw I'd bought strawberry plants yesterday he said "ooo, I like strawberries". I was thinking, yeah I KNOW!!

Dear Piglet6, gardening can be a funny old hobby sometimes, especially vegetable growing, it can get the least of interested people hooked.
I'm very pleased for you, and a cunning plan regarding the strawberries.

Delighted for you Piglet. Sometimes it's a case of Softly, Softly catchee monkey. Let him have a few of his own tomato plants and he'll hopefully be hooked for life. Sounds like the strawberries have been a very good bait. Don't forget to praise him loudly for HIS idea when you pick your first warm ripe one !

That's great news.
I am very tempted to try strawberries in hanging baskets (I'm sure I have seen pictures of this).
