Well its that time of the year again, where I get excited about all the things I can plant this year with Joe and that we can eat!  Last year, I dug a little veg plot, half of it was used for strawberries and the other for veg.

To be honest, I didn’t realise just how small a plot it was and this year have already bought far too many seeds to plant for my tiny plot.  So, I needed somewhere to move my strawberries to.  I cant get rid of them, Joe loves to eat them too much so I had a search around on the net but could only really come up with strawberry towers or cheap pop-up planters.  Neither of which suited me, one being far too expensive and the other not ideal to keep my strawberries in all year round.  I found a forum online where they were taking about making their own strawberry planter, out of 3 pots in varying sizes (largest at the bottom, getting smaller as they went up) and what a fab idea it was!  So of to Asda I went and bought some of their ‘on special’ plastic pots (Im ok with plasticotta!) and today the tumbling tower was made.

Chris very kindly, used his Dremmel to put a hole through the middle of each pot so I could slot them together with a bamboo cane for stability really.

I then built them and potted up the strawbs – so very, very easy!

Cant wait for the strawberries.

We woke up to a beautiful day in Suffolk and took the opportunity to get out to one our favourite dog walks; along the river at Needham.
