Grow Your Own / Do I take the first round of flowers of a strawberry plant?
« Last post by Marijke Jones on Today at 11:27 »Dear fellow gardeners,
Last year I planted strawberries varieties Elsanta and Max Fruct. As they were first year I hardly had any crop. But I remember someone said to me I had to remove the first flowers appearing. All plants survived the winter well and most show flowers. Do I remove them as well and wait for new flowers to come or can I leave them as they are in their second year?

No rush to plant them out-mine don't got out until early July!
Can't comment on when to raise the mesh-I just lift it when needed, I don't have the time/flexibility to base it around when it's raining!! I suffered a bit this year but that was my fault for being lax over pegging down the mesh.

Grow Your Own / Chitting sweetcorn, when to pot up?
« Last post by missmoneypenny on Today at 09:54 »I’ve had woeful germination with direct sowing so I’m trying chitting on damp kitchen roll in a Tupperware. Some have a little root sticking out, about 4mm. Im going on holiday for a week tomorrow. Can I leave them till I get back or should I plant the ones that have sprouted now? Thank you
