Ordered 60 Pearlwort plugs in mid-July as a low maintenance alternative to grass. Packaging and protection was excellent and plugs were in superb condition. I split each plug into 4 and planted directly into the soil which had been well prepared beforehand. The somewhat warmer summer meant more frequent watering to ensure the plugs settled into place. By next summer I anticipate the soil between the stepping stones in the garden to be completely filled with pearlwort. It is planted in direct sun and deeply shaded areas but all are growing and spreading well. Most of the plugs flowered and the spread has been quite amazing. Because of the layout, a lawnmower or strimmer would not fit so an alternative had to be found. Victoriana Nursery provided the perfect solution - a low maintenance grass alternative which also produces small white flowers. Everyone who sees it loves the look and the idea of no real maintenance. Victoriana Nursery has a range of unusual plants so I will definitely be after future purchases and spreading the word to those who are curious or are 'green fingered'. Great value for money. Keep the area weed free as the plants spread and weeds will be a thing of the past.

Strawberry Jam Recipe
Ingredients
- 3½ lbs (1600g) hulled strawberries.
- Juice of a large lemon.
- 3 lbs (1300g) jam sugar.
Method
- Heat the strawberries and lemon juice gently in the pan, stirring constantly to reduce the volume.
- Add the sugar, stir till dissolved and boil until setting point (105°C/220°F) is reached. Use a jam thermometer or the 'wrinkle' test to check.
- Remove any scum on the jam.
- Leave the jam undisturbed to cool until a skin forms on the surface and the fruits sink (about 20 minutes).
- Stir gently to distribute the strawberries. Pour into warm, clean, dry jars and cover immediately with waxed discs.
- Seal jars when cold, either with lids or covers.
