    hi all
    bought 6 strawberry plants from aldi,sorted out the still good plants,i know this has probably been asked before but,i have 10" hanging baskets how many can a basket take,and i will leave the plants in mini greenhouse tonight to harden them off slightly,would it be ok to leave them out side once planted up,or should i protect them for a while at night :confused:

    Hi Pam I use 35cm containers and i place 4 plants round the outside in mostly a Multi-purpous compost and a little John Innes No 3
    I will wait a while before I put mine outside. [​IMG]

    Hi Pam Well really its a matter of choice a lot of Growers remove all the flowers the first year so that the second year they get a heavier crop but I would usually leave the flowers on [​IMG]
