Ripening strawberries

Job of the week

Grow early strawberries

Enjoy delicious home-grown strawberries at least four weeks before you pick them from the garden, by bringing some plants into a cool greenhouse or conservatory. Planted in a large container or hanging basket, just three plants will provide you with enough fruit for an early taste of summer.
