STRAWBERRIES & TUMBLING TOMS
While it's a bit late in the year for the strawberries and tomatoes to start yielding fruit, I say 'better late than never'. It just shows how a few days of warmth and sunshine can make all the difference. Mind you, both the tomatoes and strawberries are protected in a small polytunnel. I have picked more tomatoes this last week than I have had all season. The perpetual flowering strawberry is yielding healthy fruit which is more than can be said for the other types I was growing. 'Was' being the operative word as I threw out every single strawberry plant I had except for the perpetual flowering type because I was sick and tired of seeing botrytis mould on them. In my garden, plants have to knuckle down and get on with it, or get out! Harsh treatment, I know. :D
