Honeoye Strawbs

I couldn't help myself! I had promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more strawberry plants but when I walked passed some very healthy looking Honeoyes, I broke that promise.

I was flicking through my recently purchased RHS Good Fruit & Veg Guide and this variety caught my eye; not only was it an RHS champion breed but it is also an early-cropped with fruit appearing from early/mid summer (my others fruit a bit later on in the season).

They were £2.50 for three plants at Homebase so I bought a couple of packs and put all six of them in a long planter, planted with Miracle Gro multipurpose. One plant has already flowered and had 3 immature strawberries on it.
