Look What R made FOR ME.

A couple of weeks ago I said, "I'd like to grow some strawberries this summer."

"In my herb garden would be a good place for a few plants." Still no, "Don't waste your time," from DH, so I ventured further. "The Birds would probably get them all.....I wonder if you might be able to make me a lift off frame for over the top?" "Okay,that shouldn't be too hard. "
So I quickly clear one segment of my lovely herb garden pulling out a woody sage plant( I have another ) and weed it all ready for new plants.

Quite by chance because he is on light duties following minor surgery DH had some spare time - Lucky me! He made the frame which looked rather coffin like to start with then today while I went to the supermarket he bought the bird netting .The garden centre that used to be in the city has moved out to between us and the city so we now drive past it all the time - very convenient ! On the way home we stopped for seeds and my Strawberry plants. 6 big beauties in a carrier for "Opening Specials" price. Thank you again; just how many I need!

(Pajero variety, no choice there) The plants are in flower already so I should get some crop quite soon. The frame is light and easy for me to lift off. So I am happy with that.

Spring winds are buffeting us today but things are flowering, so I'll take you for a walk tomorrow if you'd care to come.
