Dougy Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 They look nice We love Strawberry's and a nice quality Ice cream and have just extended the strawberry bed to 12ft x 4ft, there's something about freshly picked that just epitomises summer evenings in the garden.

Nowadays you can buy Strawberrys all the year round , some of them look nice but you can't always go by looks and we rarely buy any until around this time of the year , the ones we got today are table top so you haven't got to do any bending , in the bright sun they looked as if they had just been vanished , I couldn't resist on trying one ( or two ) before filling my punnet up , and they certainly tasted as good as they looked , this garden centre also have p y o Raspberrys , Gooseberrys and Plumbs at a later date and last year the Victoria Plumbs were so plentyful they broke some of the branches as the heat brought them on so quick and the ground underneath had that many you couldn't see the grass .

Would that have been the garden centre/farm shop that my wife and I visited on our way from Ludham via Potter Heigham on the road to Cromer, John? If so, we bought some fine fruit there last year and had a snack in their lovely cafe. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
