Di and I have put together an experimental strawberry hanging basket, as first seen on Jamie Oliver's latest series. I'm guessing that by being suspended, the strawberry plants will avoid some pest damage and the fruit can overhang the basket. The basket has been screwed to Geoff's wooden upright. The bracket from which it hangs may not be strong enough - I'll replace if necessary.
Di has planted a row of basil at the "Boardley" end of the polytunnel. The heady combo of home-grown tomatoes and basil has surely got to be one of the highlights of the year! (Does anyone know how to make mozzarella balls?)
