It was so exciting when we went over to the plot yesterday afternoon! The first signs of growth!
Yep, several of the Duke of York first earlies were breaking through the surface. We weren't expecting to see anything for another week seeing as we only planted them a week ago.
Time to start earthing up!
We have nearly cleared the area around the strawberry bed now.
Just need to remove some of the raspberries nearby and then we will try and board the strawberries in and protect them as best we can. They are already fruiting.
We've put up some notices in case anyone wants any of our surplus raspberry canes but not had any takers yet.
TK's friend came and helped us yesterday too so I gave them the job of doing some digging, which left me with not a lot I could do. I set them to work on some old earthed up areas as the soil was quite loose there...............and this is what they dug up!
Not sure if any of them are any good, but we'll give them a try.
Can't believe how lucky we have been so far!
