If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

"Perpetual" or "everbearers" certainly should do Jamie; this is my often-mentioned single Albion plant on its second batch this year, and yes, that is a 50p not a 20p piece, and yes, it is trying to take over the world!!

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I too have just a couple of plants still fruiting well. A lucky bargain from a stall at the side of the road at 50p each.

JayG that strawberry is huuuuge! I think it really will take over the world.

I have to say the credit is all down to the variety rather than my efforts (apart from netting it I can't think of anything I've given less attention to this year!)

Looks as if I will have at least another 20 plants from it for next year (will certainly take over my garden if not the world!)  :unsure:

With only one plant (albeit an extraordinarily productive one) I'm afraid you won't get past the sentry towers and barbed wire!  ;)

Next year, perhaps!  :)
