Crocus - the first flowers of spring 2008

Small young strawberry plant during the first season - this plant is already bearing strawberries. Strawberry plants bear fruits from the very first year. However the second season will have a fully grown up plant with much higher harvest than first year.
Start your own small strawberry garden. Strawberry plants are rugged and easy to care. But as seen here in all previous pictures, the fruits require all year loving care. If you have a really sunny balcony and a huge pot, at least 50-60 cm diameter, you may start a single strawberry plant on your balcony. In the same pot you also may have a few other plants or herbs for your kitchen!
Strawberries are among those fruits absolutely NOT suitable for deep freezing. Freezing changes color and taste! The berries are best fresh, eaten the very same day as harvested.
There are many ways to enjoy fresh strawberries - as shake or my favorite creation strawberry dessert - love filled valentine hearts.

One of my highlights at this year's show has been the 'Art in the Garden'. As you wander around the showground you come across a variety of work from fibreglass cows to steel, pine and charcoal sculptures, as well as more traditional artwork, using willow and oak.
Not to be outdone however, many garden designers have used art in their show gardens. The Moorcroft Natural Woman Garden incorporates a handcrafted Moorcroft tile featuring the garden's plants, bees and butterflies. There's even more artwork from designers who are showcasing their work here. 
One of my favourites is by an artist who has created leaping hares from twisted, plastic-coated wire - he's really managed to inject movement into his pieces. I'd love to take one home but I can't afford the price tag. Info from:
