Small young strawberry plant during the first season - this plant is already bearing strawberries. Strawberry plants bear fruits from the very first year. However the second season will have a fully grown up plant with much higher harvest than first year.
Start your own small strawberry garden. Strawberry plants are rugged and easy to care. But as seen here in all previous pictures, the fruits require all year loving care. If you have a really sunny balcony and a huge pot, at least 50-60 cm diameter, you may start a single strawberry plant on your balcony. In the same pot you also may have a few other plants or herbs for your kitchen!
Strawberries are among those fruits absolutely NOT suitable for deep freezing. Freezing changes color and taste! The berries are best fresh, eaten the very same day as harvested.
There are many ways to enjoy fresh strawberries - as shake or my favorite creation strawberry dessert - love filled valentine hearts.

Hmm, I think a little flowerbed reshuffle is on the cards when I get home or possibly even flowerbed creation. I might have been suffering from the gardeners' affliction of my eyes being bigger than my garden. The car looked like a mobile greenhouse on the way back down the M6 but I bet we weren't the only car on the motorway adorned with foliage. Clematis x aromatica and C. flammula mysteriously found their way into my jute shopping bag, along with a really pretty Nepeta govaniana that I'll have to sneak into the back of a border. I find that yellow flowers divide gardeners in the same way as the variegated/non variegated debate but I can't resist yellow. I don't mind if it's a perfect sunshine yellow, wholesome and cheery or an acid greeny yellow, I'm quite happy with anything in between. The N. govaniana has delicate pale, lemony yellow flowers and is perfection in plant form. Lobelia tupa is a plant that I have been hankering after for a long time and now I am the proud owner of one. Carol Klein warned me about its hallucinogenic properties when she spied it my bag. Everyday's a school day at these shows... A tiny little blackcurrant sage completed my purchases, Salvia microphylla var. microphylla I couldn't resist its tiny little magenta pink flowers and scented foliage, I know that it'll thrive in my garden and it was a bargain, that's my excuse!
One item I would have loved to have brought home with me was this chap. My soon-to-be-husband and I have a little Russian tortoise called Claude so I am very fond of these slightly grumpy shelled creatures. Even though Claude has an uncanny habit of homing in and munching on any plant that I have struggled to grow or is very rare or special, I don't know how he does it! On second thoughts perhaps a stone version is a brilliant idea... Info from:
