Strawberries preparing
The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.

Help With Growing Seeds
I've got a few seeds just outside in pots, been there all winter, hopefully they will show around April or May, if not they will stay for at least one more winter before I give up on them.
