Very exciting. We haven’t had any new home-grown arrivals in the greenhouse since the beans poked through the tops of their pots (and they’re going on for seven feet tall now and showing no signs of slowing down).

So it was good to see that the two strawberry runners I’d poked into some pots of compost in the slim hope they might do something special have rooted and become plants in their own right. They’re already larger than the seedlings I’d bought to start the crop, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they started producing fruit in their own right in another month and a half.

Spurred on by two small successes, I’ve poked another five into compost in the hope they’ll do the same. If they do, I’ll already have doubled my initial investment.
