Title: Hi From Wiltshire
Post by: oldboneshaker on September 12, 2012, 12:22:33 pm

Just a short message to say Hi.  I came onto the site to look for details on 2nd crop strawberries as mine have started to fruit again.  Anyone else got a 2nd crop?

Hello and welcome from Lancashire  :wave:

Our veg patch has gone to the dogs this year with one thing and another, but I did notice a random flower on the strawberries yesterday!  I'm sure someone will be along with some advice  :)
