Strawberries!
Jun. 13th, 2007 05:01 pm400g strawberries just picked from the garden. I'm really glad they are reasonably high up or the slugs would completely decimate them AND I wouldn't be able to reach them.
Total time spent maintaining strawberry plants this year: about 20 minutes
Total money spent on strawberry tub: about £2 for the plants, same again for the soil, and the container is a stainless steel catering urn I scavenged from a rubbish pile.
Ocado has organic strawberries for £1.99 for 300g, and British strawberries for £2.99 for 450g. Both are on special offer; both won't be as tasty as picking them from the garden myself, and unless something goes badly wrong I should have many more strawberries from that patch this summer.
I clearly win.
I win STRAWBERRIES.
