I have learnt my lesson the hard way with bare root plants in the past.
So I did not hesitate in getting these straight into some damp compost.
Three sets of five in a potting base tray (it's actually supposed to hold pots not dirt/plants direct, but it'll do for this job.)
Plus a bunch of single pots. There was actually one "bonus" Cambridge Favourite... so 31 strawberry plants. (If they all survive.)
I am not traditionally very good at managing strawberry plants.
I think mostly these will go to the #allotment
Sutton's bare root strawberry packaging is somewhat less impressive than the cute tiny lavenders.
They're also kinda a bit dry.
Hopefully these will be OK.
Finally managed another "vlog" โ aka "allotment postcard" โ a bit of an April plot tour, and also a tour of the state of our home seedling growing.
It's a bit windy I'm afraid!

I am guessing I should probably cull this claytonia before it spunks seeds all over my polytunnel bed... to avoid adding a claytonia problem to my rocket problem.

So, first night I'm able to leave the seedlings on the 3-season porch and the more established plants on the steps. Things may change later next week, so holding off on planting my potatoes until that's over with. I should have the fence set-up by this weekend. I'm growing extra flowers for the #CommunityGarden per the organizer's request.
Hey, #allotment #GYO fedi, pop quiz:
Fastest growing mid-UK leaf/salad crop?
What can I plant seeds of now and get a decent amount of in 2 weeks?
Or am I stuck with "microgreens" (not a bad thing to be stuck with mind.)
My mustards are rapidly going over and I want some fresh salad in for April 30th. (Failing at the succession sowing a bit lol... bearing in mind I've had all the time, these mustards were sown last October I think ๐ )
