Hello nice growing people! I am, as the title suggests a growing newbie, having decided to occupy my spare time now that I have a few months freedom from degree studies. I don't actually have an allotment yet although a requets has gone into my local council; will be waiting for a couple of years for that tho'! So i thought I would have a go in the garden! My main concern is about strawberries; I planted a hanging basket with 6 plants and aftera a slow start have had quite a few ripe fruits. However, quite disappointed as not much flavour, watery as daughter describes them. Have fed them one a week with Tomorite (I feed everything with that) and watered freely, every day. Too much water?. Wrong food? Also, should I cut off the (many) runners it is now producing or can I make new plants from them?
Thanks to anyone who has time to answer.
