The three beds of "Aromel" strawberry, a perpetual variety cropped right up until the first frosts and really needed a sort out. Fifty plants were bought from Moles seeds last year and these gave a very good harvest considering they were only one year old plants.
A quick haircut with the pruners soon had all the old growth cleared away leaving just fresh new leaves. The new leaves are quite well developed due to the mild winter.
The beds were soon cleaned up, ready for spring.
As an added bonus, as well as the 90 odd runners I took last autumn, I found another half dozen that had rooted into the bark chippings. These were all potted on ready to be planted out later.
