Hi all, does anyone know anywhere that sells cheap strawberries in and around Preston, Lancs? Or possibly online?

Came home this morning and my dad has knocked my stackable trio planters over image

Thanks, Grant

    Are they not rescuable?  If you plant them up again quickly they'll probably do as well as new ones.

    Visit any Homebase or B&Q after a sunny day.. Every time I go in they have stacks of trays of   "Cambridge favourite" reduced in the 50p section.. Why is it these places cant water anything..

    Bought two trays and stuck them in various troughs and hanging baskets for fun and they recovered in no time.

    Will check homebase and B&Q thanks image

    Grant. If you've the space try repotting them anyway - you've nothing to loose except perhaps no crop this year. Mine have survived being trodden on and torn up and though they looked an awful mess (the neighbours cat sleeping on them probably wont have helped) they did eventually recover.

    "Half the stems have snapped"  but half haven't - pot them up in fresh compost - they'll soon grow some more - honestly, in a week's time you'll hardly know it's happened image
