Hey up and welcome to Gardening with
0:03
Ben. Everyone, let's give you our weekly
0:05
update on our strawberry hanging
0:06
baskets. And as you can see, absolutely
0:09
fantastic. So, we're going to give you
0:10
our weekly update on them and how well
0:12
they growing and hopefully getting some
0:14
delicious strawberries. So, as you can
0:16
see, they're doing absolutely fantastic,
0:18
growing really well. I think this is
0:21
about 6 weeks now that they've been in
0:22
here. And obviously with it being
0:24
inside, they're growing a lot better
0:27
than they would do outdoors with the
0:29
warmth and the heat. We keep taking the
0:31
flowers off for the time being because I
0:33
don't want them to produce flowers yet.
0:35
We want the plants to get bigger and
0:37
then hopefully they'll produce more
0:38
fruit on them. So just keep taking the
0:40
flowers off for the time being until
0:44
probably for a couple more weeks and
0:46
then we'll start letting them fruit. Uh
0:49
that should be decent enough. Uh but
0:52
yeah, they're growing really well. We've
0:54
given them an amazing drink of water
0:56
today so that they are starting to grow
1:00
bigger and hopefully produce better. Uh
1:02
they're drying out a lot faster now.
1:04
It's starting to warm up in here. 30°
1:06
it's been some days down here and yeah,
1:09
they're getting absolutely massive now.
1:12
So, I'm happy with how things coming on.
1:14
It's still standing. It's not bent the
1:16
poly tunnel frame yet. We've got 14 hang
1:19
hung up. I was worried that it' break
1:21
the poly tunnel, but so far so good.
1:23
It's not given way to it. So, I'm
1:26
hopefully going to get a lot of
1:28
strawberries down at the plot this year.
1:30
I'm seeing all the flowers as I'm doing
1:32
this. So, get them out. But yeah, I'm
1:36
happy with how things are coming on. An
1:40
selection of strawberries. So, fingers
1:43
crossed we do get a massive harvest on
1:45
them. And we get some great fruit on
1:47
them. I keep spotting flowers as I'm
1:57
Obviously, you can let them flower if
1:59
you want if you've got strawberries, but
2:00
we want them to get a bit bigger cuz
2:02
they're brand new plants. So, we want
2:04
them to get a bit bigger and then start
2:05
producing the strawberries on them.
2:07
That's the plan anyway.
2:10
So, make sure you drop us a follow to
2:11
stay up to date with these strawberries
2:13
and how well they get on and how well
2:14
they produce this year down at the
2:16
aotment. They're certainly going to have
2:17
a lot of strawberries, fingers crossed,
2:19
off them. They're ever bearing
2:20
strawberries, so they'll keep fruiting
2:21
all summer as long as we keep picking
2:24
them. So until next time everyone,
2:25
remember keep smiling, keep shining and
2:28
keep gardening with Ben everyone.
