Hi mum just followed this strawberry container link,wow what a brilliant idea i have only been thinking today were on earth am i going to plant the strawberry runners no funds avaliable to buy more pots so this is a godsend finding this on here tonight thankyou.

I suppose the moral of this is, before you throw anything away study it closely and see if there is a use for it som,ewhere in the garden.  I try to grow as much as possible in supermarket meat trays.

Hi livinhope,
Thanx for that post i  shall be saving my meat trays from now on.

There is an ice cream, can't remember which one, but on top there is a little plastic cone.  I raised some late sweetcorn under these, they had their own little cloches.

a good excuse to eat ice cream?

They looked so sweet with their little hats on.

As the strawberry expert - what, in your opinion is the best all round strawberry, for jam, freezing etc.  and in a bowl with cream?

I claim no expertise  All I'm good at is eating them, with or without ice cream 

[Livinhope]

I'm no expert, I just look at things and try to think of a reason to give them a new life when the old one is over.

How did we get from strawberries in milk cartons to sweetcorn in hats?

It's a mad, mad world 

[Livinhope]

Yes, I know but like I said.......................... :blink:

[Livinhope]

And by the way A Elf, I think I asked you which, in your opinion, was the best all rounder strawberrywise 'cause I need guiding towards success.
