    Great job Vince the vines will love that to climb on. Gem remove all the grapes for the next couple years and let that energy go into its frame work. Great video see you both at Malvern

      I'm really excited too ☺️ I also planted one in my garden and that only has a few leaves, no sign of any grapes....so I think it will do really well in the polytunnel 🤞 Thank You for watching 😊

    Our best strawberry in South Texas is Seascape. As soon as Vince opened the plumbers glue, I could smell it through the screen. My Dad was a plumber and that was my favorite my weird smell as a kid. 😂

    Cardboard seem to be the secret ( well not so secret) stuff to use in the garden , another gardener was using it in the compost heap, lots under no dig raised beds, its all new ideas to me 🙂

    Hi Gemma I love alpine strawberries I grow them along a strip near a hedge row on my plot. They are completely different they taste very delicate almost perfume,really pretty in cocktails they can be invasive but they’re very easy to pull up if you don’t want them but a small patch in a shady area will give nice ground cover and you get them a lot earlier than other strawberries on the plot they are tiny 😍😍

    • @GemInTheGarden
      @GemInTheGarden  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You could use a trellis or even plant them with some string for them to grow up....just tie the top of the string on to the top of the fence 👌
