The strawberry crop in the front garden has been phenomenal this year, only the first year of 'proper' cropping. The variety is mostly Marshmello - although I planted three varieties originally, Florence and the perpetual variety I planted failed almost completely, so I allowed the strong plants to develop runners directly into the gaps. I won't know the yield until we jam the crop (currently frozen in several batches, ready for yet another marathon jam session), but there have been enough spare for eating fresh daily, for the last two weeks or so.I do have some left out the back, but there are simply too many feathered or furry things that take steal them, and all sheets/environmesh is in use elsewhere.
