Table Top Strawberries Grow Fast.

Posted by TopVeg - September 12th, 2007

Table Top Strawberries planted in York on August 1st have grown well.

The strawberry variety nearest the camera is Darsilette. This is an early variety. The other variety, Darselect, is a mid-season, main-crop strawberry.

The cold-stored strawberry plants arrived with good roots and crowns, but no leaves. As soon as they were planted into warm, moist peat they started to produce leaves. They have been kept moist and sprayed with soluble feed. In the six weeks they have been growing they have been de-flowered twice. They should produce a 60-70% yield next season.

These table top strawberries are showing great promise just six weeks after planting.
