Here I am transplanting strawberries from the plot to home. I want to put them into some hanging baskets to provide an alternative to flowers this year.

I expect I will be surprised at how they deliver fruit. I’m hoping for a good crop. It will be nice, if a little indulgent to be able to lean out of the window and pluck a fresh strawberry to eat.

Welcome to 2011. I know it’s early this year, but I have decided to focus on my garden a little more this year so need to get things in the grow house early.

So, I’ve begun the gardening year today with the sowing of my sweet peas. They are a free-flowering variety so should give lots of lovely blooms and as I have sown them early, they should start to flower early as well.
