WILD STRAWBERRIES FOR FREE

Finally lovely day!!! Sun is slowly going down...
I was looking forward one (at least) of those days, so I could do some work in garden.
Last year I planted some wild strawberries (known as alpine strawberries) which I brought with me from Austria. This year they spread quite a lot and this makes big problem for me, because in the place where we live at the moment space is very limited and I won’t ha ve even enough hanging baskets for that amount of plants.
If any of you would like to give them home (and look after them) I will give some of them for free.  I think I will have something between 100-200 plants to give away.   They are small at the moment, but some of them have blossoms and they will spread again very quickly.  



They need just some space, sunny, snail-free place and water time to time.  If you don’t want the plant-louses on them in the future, good idea is stick  3-5 garlic cloves around the plants.  Fruits are nice and sweet (if they get enough sunlight) and they are just perfect for kids.  Daniel loved to picked them himself last year and he had great fun looking for rape ones...
At the moment I have 30 plants ready to go in little ‘pots’ made of kitchen roll.  They are dissolvable, so you can just put them into bigger pot as they are.
These plants got 4-5 natural treatments already against plant-louses (chemical  free). Other plants which are still growing in the old place got two treatments and another 2-3 will be given when they will be taken out.
Anyone who may be interested to get some of these plants, please contact me on my e-mail: karolina.laser@gmail.com (collection only)
If someone have some spare pots from plants (any type) and is not using it, I’ll be more than happy to help to get rid of them :) .
