Back when I planted up the new strawberry beds I transferred the plants in the old bed to pots of compost and put them in Frankenstein’s greenhouse. It was quite late to transplant them, but it was potentially a better option than just throwing them into the compost. Most of the plants are doing pretty well and either flowering or producing fruit, but a few are really ahead of the game and had ripe fruit already, so obviously I wasn’t going to leave them.
They’re “Cambridge Favourite”, four year old plants now, but still smell lovely and taste great. Plenty more to come yet, too. The only real difficulty is keeping them sufficiently well watered.
