Crocus - the first flowers of spring 2008
Keywords:
John, my engineer, and I had an early start on Thursday - we arrived at the showground at half past 5, so that we could get BBC Radio Merseyside on air at 6.
Claire 'Minty' Minter did her travel reports from the flower show for Tony Snell's Breakfast programme, as well as chatting to anyone else she could find at that time in the morning - it felt like we were the only people about but she did manage to track down one or two stalwarts, including Show Manager, Kris Hulewicz. Later, we were joined by BBC Radio Lancashire's, John 'Gilly' Gilmore. Gilly was on air all afternoon and boy, was it hot! Luckily for Gilly, he'd brought his producer, Sue Hendey, who ensured he was covered in Factor 50 and had plenty of water. However, there's not much shade and they were both wilting by 4 o'clock. So, if Minty's early starts and Gilly's sunstroke haven't put you off and you think you can give Wogan a run for his money, get yourself a nickname...

Every single strawberry is the result of lots of care and work. Fortunately I know to appreciate the work involved in strawberries. I was lucky enough to grow up in a small strawberry plantation my parents started to get some additional income in addition to all other farming products.
We all know from where strawberries come ... from the supermarket shelves. We also know who does all the work ... we hire cheap foreign labor willing to work for less than 5$ per hour because the work is too hard and too low paying for us ...
Wrong!
It is time to learn to do such jobs ourselves. No matter how little it pays.
Strawberry farming is a year long work of caring for your strawberry fields, for each plant and each fruit.
Many ways to grow strawberries - artificial, chemical / plastic methods and organic natural methods. The coming pictures will show you how to grow strawberry plants and berries.
