Re: Allotments

Sorry for going slightly off topic but the talk of where best to grow Strawberries brought back some happy memories for me.

My Grandad always edged his flower boarders with alternate Strawberry plants and Pansies. I would be sent out to collect some flower heads, my Nan's salads always looked very exotic with the pansy flowers scattered over it and they tasted nice as well. She even candied some to decorate my wedding cake.

The tiny strawberries never seemed to make it to the table though.
