Strawberries
I thinned out my straberries last year, but it has done little to stop them moving ahead this year. In fact it has meant even more plants. I’ve not done anything special to them, other than thin them.
It does mean getting more strawberry mats or straw. The latter will be cheaper, so I am going to ask a friend to bring some over.
I’m hoping for a bumper crop this year. Not that there were few last year; but I’m thinking of making jam this year. We will see of course, the year is but young yet.

Looks like you’ll have lots of fruit this year? Did you thin them out before? I’m told you get better amounts if you thin out.

Hi,
Yes, I do hope so, though it has been cold this year so far. This weekend it has rained non-stop, so I am worried that it will be like last year when everything got washed out. Hopefully the strawberries will last it out and I can have a good crop.
I did thin them out last year, but as you can see it has just encouraged them to grow even more.
Strawberry jam here I come.
