Enjoy your own home grown strawberries this summer

There is nothing more quintessentially British than eating plump, juicy strawberries with whipped cream.

If you'd like ensure that your summery dessert is as fresh as possible then growing your own is a must. The best time to plant strawberry plants is either in mid-spring (after the risk of frost has passed) or in late summer/early autumn (August/September) for a bountiful harvest.
