Strawberry plants. (Parson's Heath CO4)
Promised
Hi Folks, I’m offering 5x Strawberry Plants to one person (bare roots, NOT in pots)(3rd batch). I bet you love fresh juicy strawberries on a warm sunny summer’s day with cream – yes? So grow some for yourself. They don’t require much effort, Every year they produce runners & can multiply 3x times & the parent plants live for several years; so you’ll have lots of plants in future years. Plant in a sunny position on the same day as collected, water for the first week & then only when the garden has overly dry / hot conditions & talk to them nicely; ‘tis easy peasy.

Laptop or Mac (Raydon IP7)
If anyone has a spare laptop or mac they would be willing to rehome I’d be incredibly grateful! I lost my job recently so don’t have access to one now and I’m struggling to do life admin and paperwork on my phone. Doesn’t need to be anything super fancy, jusy being able to do life admin would be really helpful. But, if it has the capacity to run photoshop and AutoCAD it would mean I could look at going self employed. 🙏🏼
