Spring pics

Here are some pics of my garden after a week of much needed rain. One sunny day and now it’s exploded with colour. There are pink cosmos, peach gladioli, new growth on the blueberry bush and strawberries. I have also harvested some silverbeet.

Strawberries

This strawberry plant has multiplied to around eight separate plants. They are the amateur gardener’s best achiever - easy to grow and propagate. Some of my strawberries have started fruiting and I have the nets already in place for the birds. I recently read that strawberries get bigger fruit if they get a good hard frost on their crowns. It has been rather cold this winter so I hope what I read is true.
