The strawberries in the raised bed are not doing too badly, they are dryer and maturing quicker than the one planted in the ground. I’ll definitely keep them in the raised in years to come! I’ve managed to discourage the black birds with a special tape that makes a vibrating noise in the wind.
Hello Adrienne
I would say that you are quite early to plant PSB. I planted mine too early last year and I had giant plants as a result, as tall as me (ok 5 feet tall) with huge trunks!
My crop was no better than my friend who planted her in august. Her plants were small but had the same amount of purple sprouting.
My advice would be not to plant too many -or plant different varieties that crop at different time.
There’s lots of brassicas you can plant end of June/July/August: rapa (a kind of broccoli, super fast grower) kale, pak choi, tatsoi (tasty mustard for stir fry), red cabbage, green cabbage, cauli, parley, rocket. You ca also plant beetroots, carrots, peas and beans.
