planted last september in the old squash beds, the cold must've done them good
spent this morning cutting the old roots down on the garlic and picking strawberries, garlic doesn't go with strawberry  ;D

That's reassuring - I dug up one of mine this week and it hadn't cloved so quickly put it back. What will you be feeding it with?

looking great Manics !
I've pulled the 1st row, and am relieved to see them looking ok - what with all that wet weather in Winter I doubted they would come good. Just shows you what I don't know  ::)

Caroline - I wouldn't bother feeding or watering them
