The poppy bloomed, but it was so heavy it broke the stem ... I had to prop it up to take photos :(

Runner provide valuable young strawberry plants. A mother plant usually lasts a few years, depending on the exact strawberry variety. The after a few years the plant may produce smaller harvest and plants then are replaced.
Strawberry plant runners are a free source to rejuvenate your own strawberry garden.
however each plant produces each year many young plants by means of runners. Hence those beautiful small strawberry plants are an ideal gift among neighbors and friends. Select the best and most tasty strawberries in your neighborhood and ask in advance for young plants for your own garden.
As long as the runner is attached to the motherplant there is no special care needed for the young plants. The young plants start to grow leaves and small roots and during the course of a few months the plant grows to a half size plant with several leaves and stronger roots. Now it is time to cut the runner and place the young strawberry plants to the final new place for next season.
a single mother plant can produce approximately a dozen small plants.

It's always interesting to earwig on conversations at a flower show, you can't really help it when there are so many visitors, and everyone's got their own ideas as to what makes a great show garden or exhibit. One comment I hear time and time again is how inspiring the gardens are and how they're going to try to copy 'that' colour scheme or 'this' style of planting. The thing that I'm going to take away and copy from this years show is not plants but paths.
The back to back gardens are very good for hard landscaping ideas and I spotted a brick edged path in-filled with pebbles stuck into concrete, much like a mosaic. Or, there's a stone path with grass instead of mortar and something more contemporary, a metal grid suspended over a bog garden - almost like a bridge. However, the one that I'm going to copy at home is the path in 'The Garden for Bees'. It's a gravel path planted with an informal drift of thyme, which smells as good as it looks. The good news for me is that I've already got a gravel path, all I have to do is add the 'thyme' and once the flower show is over, I'll have the 'time' to do it. Info from:
