Thanks @Sheps. Ideally it is better to allow the strawberries to ripen on the plant. Practically, I pick them when they start to show a bit of colour and ripen them on a window sill. Otherwise, it will be bird food or slug buffet (now that the rains are here, the slugs will all appear from God knows where).

And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
Good morning @Eustace thanks for the information, I'm going to give them a go in the greenhouse next year.
I cooked the spuds this morning, they taste so good, it might just be a phycological thing because I've grown them myself but I'm pretty sure it's not.
Podded out the peas. The best harvest we have ever had. Could be due to me saying that as the harvests have been so dismal for so many years that this year would be the last time I sowed peas! The peas in the white pot are much more than the photo shows and so some will go in the freezer as we have still more developing.

Maris Peer second earlies.
Just out of curiosity, will the green ones ripen like tomatoes do?
