Small young strawberry plant during the first season - this plant is already bearing strawberries. Strawberry plants bear fruits from the very first year. However the second season will have a fully grown up plant with much higher harvest than first year.
Start your own small strawberry garden. Strawberry plants are rugged and easy to care. But as seen here in all previous pictures, the fruits require all year loving care. If you have a really sunny balcony and a huge pot, at least 50-60 cm diameter, you may start a single strawberry plant on your balcony. In the same pot you also may have a few other plants or herbs for your kitchen!
Strawberries are among those fruits absolutely NOT suitable for deep freezing. Freezing changes color and taste! The berries are best fresh, eaten the very same day as harvested.
There are many ways to enjoy fresh strawberries - as shake or my favorite creation strawberry dessert - love filled valentine hearts.

It's always interesting to earwig on conversations at a flower show, you can't really help it when there are so many visitors, and everyone's got their own ideas as to what makes a great show garden or exhibit. One comment I hear time and time again is how inspiring the gardens are and how they're going to try to copy 'that' colour scheme or 'this' style of planting. The thing that I'm going to take away and copy from this years show is not plants but paths.
The back to back gardens are very good for hard landscaping ideas and I spotted a brick edged path in-filled with pebbles stuck into concrete, much like a mosaic. Or, there's a stone path with grass instead of mortar and something more contemporary, a metal grid suspended over a bog garden - almost like a bridge. However, the one that I'm going to copy at home is the path in 'The Garden for Bees'. It's a gravel path planted with an informal drift of thyme, which smells as good as it looks. The good news for me is that I've already got a gravel path, all I have to do is add the 'thyme' and once the flower show is over, I'll have the 'time' to do it. Info from:
