Fresh strawberries in September



Well, the 50 "Aromel" everbearing strawberries planted last autumn have proved their worth. Not only are we harvesting a few punnets a week of very tasty, good sized fruits but I have also propogated 80 runners to increase our stocks so that we have plenty of fruit all of next summer and early autumn. We also grow "marshmello in tandem as these give a good crop in June and July.
The runners rooted so well that within 3 weeks the roots were coming out of the bottom of the pots. I can highly recommend both varieties, they are good croppers of tasty, good sized fruit.
