{"product_id":"wild-strawberry-growbar","title":"Wild Strawberry Growbar","description":"Wild strawberries are smaller and sweeter than their more commercial cousins and have a deliciously fragrant flavour. No need for sugar or cream! Perfect to grow between March and July.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart by unwrapping your Growbar and place it with the brown protective paper facing upwards, into a container with plenty of space to allow it to expand; a takeaway food tray is ideal. Gently pour half a litre of water into the tray and position indoors on a warm, bright sunny windowsill. The seeds will need to be a cosy 18°-22° to germinate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater regularly and ensure the Growbar is perfectly moist, it should remain the colour of a rich dark ginger cake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the seedlings have produced 4-8 leaves you may then gently separate them, being careful to not damage the delicate roots, plant them in individual pots or a sunny weed-free spot in the garden. Plants grown in the ground with plenty of space and sunlight will fruit most impressively though it is possible to grow the seedlings in containers or pots on the balcony or patio. Water regularly and feed from time to time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only is the alpine strawberry especially sweet-tasting, it also benefits from being less visible to birds than commoner varieties, so you’ll not have to share your crop with feathered friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDependent on weather conditions and when the seeds were started, your strawberries will begin to form from midsummer. Water the soil regularly as the fruits swell and ripen and provide well-rotted manure to encourage abundant fruit. They’re delicious plucked straight from the stems but a bumper crop can be cooked into a splendidly simple jam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach growbar contains a mix of Mignonette - \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003ean exceptionally sweet and aromatic alpine strawberry (perennial) and Alexandria - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003ea wonderful heritage variety that tastes and smells as a strawberry should (perennial)\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61493973057870,"sku":"SKU 26997","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1092\/3494\/6382\/files\/strawberry-growbar-copy-scaled.jpg?v=1793614482","url":"https:\/\/thesetwohands.co.uk\/products\/wild-strawberry-growbar","provider":"These Two Hands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
