    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if it's too late to transfers Strawberrie plants from small post to bigger pots. I am worried that moving them might set them back for this year. any thoughts?

    I don't think so - I bought a tray of them 2 weeks ago and only potted them up yesterday.

    Me too. Just moved mine to a new location last week and flowers have begun to appear since.

    chicken wire around!
    the other morning i found 2 hares chomping on mine :mad:

    my own fault really, I had left the fence down over night after doing some tidying up on the bed.

    they will eat anything!!
