My first Strawberries!

Thanks to reading information and tips from other members on the forum, I decided to have a go at growing my very first strawberries!

My first picking today which will be sampled after lunch!

Well done Mags !
They look scrumptious.
Mine are no where near eating stage yet and it will be a race between me and the slugs who gets them first !

They look lovely Mags. I've had a few ripen but I've eaten them straight from the plant, so nothing to show.

Well done Mags they look lovely.
I have only green strawberries on my plants so far, I re potted them and that seemed to set them back.
