Title: Strawberry plants, free. Between Brechin and Arbroath and Montrose
Post by: Steph Hen on May 04, 2014, 09:31:25 am
I have some strawberry plants needing new homes. About 30 or 40.
They are basically bare rooted and have been in water for a week waiting to be planted.
I had a strawberry bed where I wanted a greenhouse and had to dig up and relocate plants. I have replanted all I want and now have many spares.
The bed did have weeds in it, docks, ground elder, but as plants have minimum earth attached to their roots I don't think there's much risk of transmission.
Can't remember which varieties, there were three when it started out a few years ago.
Text or call me if you want them O78 467 I35 64 collection ASAP, between Arbroath and Brechin.

I wish I'd read this before leaving the house this morning. I've just finished making 14 raised beds and would've loved a load of strawberry plants. We were driving down to Dundee and could've passed. Never mind, at least they've gone to an appreciative home.
