Well the pallet has been producing lots of yummy strawberries for the family to devour.
We had a taste test on Christmas morning to decide which variety was the best. I have 4 Albion strawberries on the top row and the rest are Camarosa. It was 100% vote that Albion was the better of the two.
The one variety that I didn't plant as many..... Always the way.I'll have to plant more of them next year.
Albion has the added benefit of being day length neutral, which is helpful when you gets periods of grey and wet weather... like we have at the moment. We also decided that the flavour was more like strawberries of old.
We have had a lot of success with the berries all round. Lots of raspberries,boysenberries, and black currants have been amazing in their first season. We had 1 cherry. 1 apple.
A very good crop of potatoes, corn coming on well too. Tomatoes are green waiting to ripen.
Lots of lettuce, salad greens and kale.
Overall I'm very happy with my new garden.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
