Since they're white, how can you tell when they are ripe? I've never heard/seen those sort of strawberries before!


I will enjoy gardening through all of you, I've just about given up for this year. We haven't had a drop of rain in 2 months (and the Netherlands is known for it's abundant rainfall). I have an allotment garden on very sandy soil with no running water so I've been hauling water there every couple days but it's never enough. Then a bunch of plants got zapped by very late frost. I also have a rodent problem. The beds have turned into swiss cheese from all their tunneling and some plants roots hang in nothingness and then die. So I've planted a few tomato plants in pots on my balcony and some radish and lettuce in planters, trying to make the best of a bad situation! I may try a few herbs as well if I have space.
