Title: Strawberries are a go-go
Post by: Wellieboots on June 25, 2009, 12:11:11 pm

Apologies for blowing my own trumpet but that's 3lbs of strawbs picked already from 12 plants, with later season ones still fruiting & only planted last autumn. Chuffed as a chuffin' chuffed thing wot is rather chuffed about being chuffed.  ;D

Anybody see H F-W last night?  He did heaps of really unusual things with strawbs that I thought would be disgusting but folk seemed to enjoy them. http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/river-cottage/river-cottage-2009/index.html
