    My strawberries are coming along nicely. These I bought in February from spain and they were green, so I planted them and covered them over when it got cold and opened them during the day so that the flowers would get pollinated.

    As a result, on the 27th of April, I was able to get this photo. That was before the frost.

    After the frost, yesterday the strawberries only had a slight burning on a couple of fresh young leaves. The Dahlias weren´t so happy though, they just turned into mush. I hope that is our last frost. The strawberries withought tunnels are also starting to a colour a bit, so I don´t seem to have gained that much time.
