Strawberry Bed

Just a quick note: we got home from work early, so we've driven in the stakes/posts for the strawberry bed. They're shorter than for the fruit beds: about 1' in the ground, and 21" above. That means I can hammer them in, rather than digging, which is much quicker! I'll screw the boards onto the posts when next out, as the first load of topsoil arrives this Friday. Fortunately, the forecast for the weekend is good, so hopefully we can make good progress with making the beds and filling them.

Almost all the Florence and Honeoye are looking good, and about 15 of the 25 Cambridge are doing well. They were the ones we were concerned about, but enough of them seem to have survived.

More of the squills have come up, though I'm not sure that the full 50 we planted are showing; similarly, there are meant to be 100 puschkinia...hopefully they're a bit slow, rather than dead...
