Just after the last set of elections – the local ones on 2nd May – I got around to getting decently acquainted with my 3D printer. Having lost my previous strawberries in the notoriously-waterlogged Worcester winter, I decided to print some strawberry towers. The first one was planted up on 12th May (details here), followed by two others.
It’s now a bare two months later. The first tower – the “early” ones – is laden with fruit that is rapidly approaching ripeness. I’m delighted, and it’s unexpected, as strawberries generally don’t do brilliantly in their first year.
