Received my fruit plants today. Very well packaged. Excellent healthy plants.
So happy with everything from ordering to receiving. Just got to go to the allotment now and plant them! Thank you so much.

Sow no earlier than March to early May, in seed trays or module trays under protection. Provide a minimum germination temperature of 50°F (10°C), but ideally closer to 60°F (16°C). Set out when large enough to handle 8" (20 cm) apart in rows 8" (20 cm). Avoid planting out after the first week in June as bulbs will not mature properly from such late plantings. Keep weed-free at all times. Avoid over-watering, but water thoroughly in warm dry spells.
Plant out 6-8" (15-20 cm) apart in rows 8" (20 cm). Either take out a drill approximately 1" (2.5 cm) deep and push sets into the bottom of the drill (pointed side up) before covering with soil, leaving the tops just showing, or alternatively take out shallow holes with a dibber and pop in, again leaving the tops just showing. Recently planted sets may need to be protected with netting or similar to prevent birds pulling them out of the soil. Keep weed-free at all times. Avoid over-watering, but water thoroughly in warm dry spells.
