Succeed with Strawberries - Kitchen Garden Magazine

Many of you will have sown the bulk of your favourite crops by early June and I bet you’ll have wished for that little bit more space.

Not one to waste a spare inch of growing space, veteran veg-grower #JoeMaiden shares his top tips on growing herbs in large pots; while #BenVanheems encourages us to look to the skies in our search for suitable space and to use walls, fences and hanging containers in an effort to squeeze every last productive drop from our plots.

In it, Anne Swithinbank reveals her top 10 varieties for taste and we give you the chance to save £9 on young #strawberry plants.
