I used a small wood crate to creat a bit of a raised bed for them; this might have caused me to plant them closer together than whatever the recommeded distance is, although I did plant some of them around it, not wanting to crowd them. I planted the extra one next to them, I think it's a Cambridge ...

I planted some Frau Mieze Schindler strawberries hoping to have a small crop of delicious strawberries. I knew they'd be small, but these were tiny and the flavour was not as expected.

Why are ladybirds so fond of redcurrant bushes?
