25.01.2022 Pineapple crush, my favourite alpine strawberry, the plants are fairly drought hardy, they flower well, yoeld is very good and the fruit is superb. What's not to love!

25.01.2022 Frost morning in the Chilean strawberry patch

22.01.2022 Winter germination of White soul, one of the varieties I plan to save seed from. Requires a bit of effort to get seedlings started in these frosty conditions. I have the seed trays in a room facing north with a heat mat overnight. It seems to be working though with seven different varieties germinating at a similar time.

19.01.2022 Gorgeous Belgian strawberries ... magnificent aroma, shiny and delicious. Borough markets never disappoints

18.01.2022 Some of the alpine strawberries I'm going to use to start my seed saving adventure - I'm working on 17+ varieties. I'm going to pot these up soon and build insect exclusion enclosures. Excitement

14.01.2022 Vegie beds, strawberry beds, gooseberries, currants and raspberries covered in snow

09.01.2022 Snow on the alpine strawberry bed ... the mulberry tree is white!

06.01.2022 Alpine strawberry seedlings showing their winter colours ...

04.01.2022 Working on a new alpine strawberry bed: chisel ploughed removing black currants (remaining jostaberry is in the foreground, gee they're tough!!); next weeded by hand; then shovelled a ute-load of humus as a topdressing. Waiting for the wind to drop for the next step - been waiting for days!

03.01.2022 Beach strawberry flower - I've yet to get a strawberry from this bed so fingers crossed for this season

02.01.2022 Snowy strawberries

01.01.2022 Autumn snacks on the verandah ... reinne des vallees strawberries and cherry guava

01.01.2022 My first attempt at seed saving ... pineapple crush plant in a butterfly cage. It's a small, young plant, once it grows and gets established in it's new pot, I'll hand-pollinate flowers. Can't wait!
