Notes
- Can be repotted in a planter, a larger pot, or straight into the ground
- Ensure there is good drainage
- Water frequently whilst the plants are being established, then water whenever there are extended dry periods
- Avoid watering the crowns or fruits
- For best results fertilise with a potash feed - tomato feed or similar should do the trick
- Protect with fleece if an overnight frost is predicted
- When the fruit starts developing place straw or fibre mats under the fruit to prevent rotting
- Likes full sun, can tolerate partial shade
- Avoid very windy locations
- Cut off old leaves after harvesting fruit to allow new leaves to develop
- Allow fruits to turn completely red before harvesting - eat the fruit soon after picking to have them when they're the tastiest!
- Pet safe
