I tried to make a very simple covering for the strawberries for as little cost as possible . Take a look at the results

Looking really good Sarah - is there maybe a bit of that rhubarb ready that you could harvest? That would make the plant a bit smaller and it'll grow back quickly. Yummy stewed on cereal for breakfast or mixed with cooked apple in a crumble.

Best advice for getting rid of slugs is Beer traps, old yogurt tubs sink them down level with soil, then fill them with beer,they find it irresistible, then the beer kills them, great video amazing progress Sarah and thanks for sharing your video

I bet you can't wait for your strawberries. Though I'm catching up on things, as ive been poorly and ended up in hospital. 😬 So I'm guessing you've already been harvesting them. We have. They ripened a while ago. They are such a treat and so much more tasty than shop bought. A real treat. You can't beat a good fresh home grown strawberry. The allotment is looking great Sarah. Well done you. Xx

@northlondonlass1498 Ай бұрын

’m not a fan of that type of netting because the birds can get caught up in it. You can try next year to paint stones that are strawberry shape into strawberries. Leave them next to the plants and the birds will peck at them. They then learn that they’re not edible and once your real strawberries are ripe the birds leave them alone. Works for me.

@sarahsallotmentjourney Ай бұрын

I must have been lucky no birds have caught themselves up on it but I will know for next year thanks

@AnnaAnna-uc2ff Ай бұрын

When I had a garden I used netting on my peas for many years and caught only 1 bird. An "English House Sparrow", which in Canada are considered an invasive species, so no loss.

Great ides for the netting for the strawberries. I order a lot fromTemu as well. I had a question for you. I see a lot of people in the UK have allotments. Are they because some people don't have yards to plant gardens or what not? I was just curious. Anyway hope you have a great week sending lots of love from your friend in Michigan. Can't wait till the next live. Love chatting with you and Mick.

Yes I live in a terrace house and I only have a back yard no garden .

@brandonbursick9575 Ай бұрын

Ok now it all makes sense to me lol. 😂 sometimes I think k my yard is too big. It's a lot to keep up with. I didn't put a garden in this year. Hopefully next year. Right now I am still recovering from an accident I was in last September when I cartwheeled my wife's new vehicle 8 times and broke my back nearly leaving me paralyzed. I thank God nobody was with me and I didn't hit anyone. I'm just hoping I will be able to go back to my job soon at the steal foundry I work at. Miss all my Co workers and that feeling of normalcy. Hope you have a great week and can't wait to see you and Mick on the live Sunday.
