Without Cream
STRAWBERRY culture is a matter that in the past we have gladly left to professionals, but now that the professional is up against it with labour shortages and other troubles, strawberries are so scarce and dear that many of us have almost forgotten what they taste like. The speaker in the Grow Your Own Vegetables talk from 1YA the other evening wisely devoted his whole ten minutes to the business. Here is a small fruit for the home garden that can be grown from one end of the country to the other, and the directions were so lucid, definite, and comprehensive, that we no longer felt the undertaking to be hopelessly difficult and mysterious. The only thing that the speaker didn’t tell us-how could he?-was where to find a bit of wirenetting to keep the birds off, but there must still‘be an old piece lying around somewhere. Except where winters are very cold and soggy, March is apparently the month to begin operations, and with the horrible fruitlessness of last December still fresh. in the memory, I think many of us will act on his excellent advice.
