Strawberry Update

Howdy,

Welcome to my Dubai based container vegetable gardening blog.

Just a quick update on the strawberries I planted a couple weeks back.  If you read the other post, you might remember that against the advice of the folks in the video I left the fruit on two of the four plants I planted.  I just wanted to see what the difference might be.  Well, one of those fruit has turned red!

And of the plants I planted a week or so before these plants and removed any fruit or flowers is starting to make flowers.

So, maybe there is some strawberry jam in the future!!!

For those of you that have not heard the song for awhile and for those youngsters who may never have heard this classic!

Thanks for stopping by.

Planting Strawberries!

Howdy,

Welcome to my Dubai based container vegetable gardening blog.

I have just recently planted my first ever strawberry plants.  Mrs. Bubba & I were in the supermarket the other day and she spotted some strawberries but decided against them in the end as we have been disappointed in the past with the sweetness or ripeness of them .... not to mention the price of them!  So, I was passing through Satwa a couple of weeks back and checked out the plant shops to see what they have in the way of vegetable plants ... no I was not looking for pepper plants!  I came across some strawberry plants, i believe, grown by a large local farm produce company as it was in a box with their name on it.  So, I bought three of them.
