Managed to dodge the hailstones for long enough to get two dozen strawberry runners planted up in a tower. Not one of the fancy pottery ones (I have a blue-glazed one that looks pretty but isn't big enough for strawbs - plus it's too heavy for me to move!) but an Elho plastic one that consists of 4 three-lobed planters that stack on top of one another. I put it on an old stand with casters so I can turn it round regularly to ensure all the plants get some light.
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
