Is this a silly idea?

Was hoping to get a jump on the season, and the ones on the plot !! ??

there is no such thing as a silly idea when it comes to more strawberries

go for it! and when they're ready we'll come to 'sample' them

OK look forward to it !!

Think it'll work - tis now done all over the south in ploytunnels. Just think it might be like the "early" English strawbs from the Superbastardmarkets and taste a bit insipid and a bit too acidic.

We had strawbs last night from s.m and if you closed your eyes and ate them you could have mistaken them for a tomato. Not sweet at all. (OH bought them as he is trying to get me to eat more fruit and veg. Told him not to get them again though )

If you grow them under cover do you need to hand pollinate?

nah, just leave t'door oppen

Bet they were shipped unripe Bags, same with plums. Yuk
