Strawberries

Went to the allotment today and spent almost 2 hours in the strawberry bed. i hadn't planned this but when i arrived after a week of being away i noticed it was covered in weeds and the new strawberry runners had grown everywhere.
First i had to give it a good weed then separate and dig up all of the runners something i was meant to do months ago ..oooops
I started with 10 strawberry plants that i bought from ebay and planted them back in February i think it was (it's on this blog somewhere) i stopped several runners by snipping them off but they just kept growing ... somehow i have ended up with 53 plants altogether!!!! and i brought 10 home with me to pot up and give away  

Callum was busy at the other end of the allotment where i couldn't hear him ;) he pulled up the broccoli and a couple of cabbages and did some weeding ..... there is so much to do down there at the moment

anyway here is the new strawberry bed with lots of plants watered in and ready for next year :)
