Title: Strawberries
Post by: Twood on June 05, 2020, 18:25

Afternoon
Hopefully most of you have had some rain  :wub:
Anyway now that my strawberries are fruiting i realise I have a flavourful variety and a completely tasteless variety which I suspect I got from TM and didn't write down what they were!!!
So I'm looking for recommendations for flavourful strawbs.
I intend to mark the watery ones and remove them I'm not wasting my time waiting for them next year!
Essentially they will be for me to stuff my face with. Jam is an option only if I get bored with the taste of strawberries :D

Thanks
Twood

The joy of ordering stuff online is that you can search back through your emails to check your recollection is right-mine wasn't!

I ordered some reduced cold stored runners Korona in June 2017 and this year have some large lovely flavoured fruits on great looking plants. I can't remember what they were like last year though.

Thanks Potty
I did manage to find the order on the website but it didn't state the variety of strawberries just 21 bare root plants!!!.   i have contacted them to ask but they will be terribly busy at the moment and i'm not sure if they will know themselves.
Thanks for the tip though
