Nic's Strawberry 'Elsanta' x 6
Fragaria x ananassa

Another harvest – quite a few this time (about 3/4 cambridge, 1/4 elsanta in the pic)

Another harvest from the berry patch – there are about 2 from the photo. Not getting a whole lot ripening at the same time, but I guess that’s a good thing as I just have enough to pop on my cereal every couple of days.

Yay! First strawberry from the Elsantas – they might not be as tasty as other varieties, but they grow so picture perfect :)

Ok, I feel like this is getting a little silly – I now have no more room outside for my strawberry plants, so I am trying to find places indoors. Unfortunately, I went a bit crazy a couple of months ago planting runners like nobody’s business – and now I can’t bring myself to throw them away….if anyone wants them and lives in London, they are most welcome to take them off my hands!

Found a ladybug on my strawberry patch – hopefully it will stick around enough to start gobbling up all those evil evil aphids…or else the garlic spray bottle comes out again (and I hate getting garlic spray on my hands, too)

Unfortunately they all seem to be ripening all at once – since Nath is a non strawberry eater (I know! The shame!) I have to figure out what to now do with all these berries….you can’t get sick of strawberries, can you?
