They were a packet of alpine seeds planted ,i think in March.Sweet as Sweet could be.Sorry can't just think of the name.

How amazing to see them this time of year.  Could never buy strawberries now after tasting home grown. They look lovely. I used to make some fabulous smoothies at the tail end of ours by combining the strawberries with live yoghurt.  Yummy! busy_lizzie

My mid-season variety is producing fruit again now. Every time one ripens, I put it in a pot in the freezer. I hope eventually to have enough to make jam!

I agree with Lizzie - never again will I be able to eat shop-bought ones. They just do not taste like strawberries!

And did you get fruit from them in the summer?
I was considering some Alpine strawberries from seed for next year - that's why I was wondering.

Thanks,
