Strawberries
476 Answers
This is their third year and I have lots of fruit already but they don't seem to be putting out any runners this year for me to pot on .They are not in the ground but in a strawberry pot and various other containers .Are they past their sell by date and shall I chuck them once finished fruiting and get new for next year ? I have had a few ripe fruits already and they taste OK !

what, is it neti's birthday? And Michigan J Frog out to celebrate it?
Not Kentwell yet, shaney, but I got to Chartwell yesterday. Covered in scaffolding as they've started work on replacing all the roof tiles - they're doing it while it's closed for the winter but have started a bit early. To be honest, I wasn't that enthused designer-wise, it's a bit poky and fussy (though quite large); I suppose it's really only significant because of who lived there and because of the amazing views.

<peers through the fog>
morning all, it was a bit fik here first thing, very atmospheric..
oh the woman in black...if I wore all black I'd look like a liquorice magic wand. In fact if I was 'going Italian' I'd have to borrow one of neti's paisley numbers, I don't seem able to move food from the plate to my mouth without going via my lap these days...p'raps these come in black?
ok, ok, I've not forgotten...
NETI!!
IT'S A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ME.....

A couple of Vinny's presents are empty, I see... now who on earth would drink all the Becks before gift-wrapping the bottle?

Ha ha trust jno to know everybody and I do mean everybody - I wasn't aware that frog even had a name...! / Pussy versus printer is hilarious, Robinia ha ha ha, wouldn't you love to be able to peek inside that little cat brain of hers to find out just exactly what her analysis of the situation is?
Lovely day here, I'll catch some rays on my translucent vampire skin.

lol have you seen it with sub-titles yo (:O)
I like that cat ...he says the same things as I do when something goes wrong with all this gubbins .
Bit of a foggy old day here . Goes with my brain .
Ah Chartwell Jno ..I went there many many moons ago .Though I expect now it's in the hands of the NT it'll have been spruced up .
You would probably like Kentwell ..It's a beautiful house with a moat and the people who have taken it over have done a grand job as it was very dilapidated but they've turned into a sort of "theme " place .
If you go in the summer it's awash with all these goings on but at this time of year it's quieter and you can appreciate the surroundings more .
Of course they have to do something to make it pay and they have done very well considering they had no help from grants etc .
Lots of hands on stuff for children lots of farm animals,rare breeds of pigs ,chickens and so on ..Lots of horses and peacocks wandering around and all these medieval enactment style things .
It's worth a look though for the kitchen and the wonderful brick maze .

good to see you Jude....lovely weather today wasn't it?
oh lordy...who mentioned frogs? I've just had one in the bloomin living room...I sat here staring at the puta in the dark & suddenly Charlie shot across the room & stood staring under the chair...I thought it was probably just a spider but something made me get up to look & there sat ******! I caught it under an ice cream tub, it was going nuts boinging up & down, I know why they say 'mad as a box of frogs' now, hahahaha .... I've sent it packing outside & Chas' still going potty trying to find where its gone.
I need a cuppa tea...
