strawberry ‘Cupid’ (strawberry Cupid – late season fruiting) was £14.99 now £9.99
Position: full sun Soil: any soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Other features: ready to pick from July Hardiness: fully hardy Glossy-skinned fruits appear amongst the vigorous growth of this extremely disease-resistant variety. A late cropper, it performs well on a wide range of soils and growing conditions, and it has a mouth-watering flavour. Garden care: These strawberry runners are sent out as bare root (ie not potted up or in soil) plants. They are completely dormant, so any remaining foliage or stems will look shrivelled and dry. They should be planted out within a couple of days of arrival. Once they are planted out, they will emerge from their dormancy and start to put on new growth in spring (or within a 4 – 6 weeks if planted in spring). Choose a spot in full sun and prepare the bed well by removing all the weeds and digging in a generous amount of compost. You can also work in some general purpose fertiliser if planting in spring. When you are ready to plant, fill a bucket with tepid water and leave the plants to soak for 20 minutes. This will rehydrate the roots. While they are soaking, prepare the planting holes – these should be approximately twice as wide as the strawberries root system. Plant the strawberries so the crown (the point where the roots meet the stem) is at soil level, and spread the roots out before re-filling with soil. Space them at 45cm intervals, allowing 75cm between each row. After planting, immediately give them a thorough water and apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plants, being careful to avoid the crown. Keep the plants well watered, especially during warmer weather and when the fruits are developing. When the strawberries are starting to form, a thick layer of straw or a strawberry mulch mat can be placed under the plants to stop the fruit touching the soil. Sheets of black plastic mulch can also be used, and this will also help retain soil moisture, reduce weeds and encourage early cropping. Strawberries can also be planted in tubs, containers and hanging baskets.
Terracotta olive pot £99.99
Dimensions: width 60cm x height 54cm This is one of our very own range of pots and we are very proud of them. We thin k these classic, unfussy designs work best in an English garden. Although our in spiration came from Tuscany, the pots have been made in Turkey. They are hand th rown (sometimes from 2 pieces of clay for the larger pots) by Argun and his son who are the 3rd and 4th generation of potters from the Izmir region on the Aege an coast. The clay from this area ages to a lovely patina, as the salts slowly l each to the surface. Each pot is fired to 1080 degrees C (to make it as frost proof as possible) and has an extra large drainage hole in the base.
This guy suggests growing two seeds to a module and planting them out a foot apart. Also feed them heavily as they are greedy feeders and need tons of food if they are to grow well.
I always dib a deep hole and pop leek seedlings in. I normally grow them in a seed tray and dissolve the compost away from the roots carefully. This year I will be trying module growing for leeks. They are very hardy and shouldn’t need any heat.
