Rachel De Thame picks her favourite part of the show. "One of the highlights of Tatton for me are the bedding displays. The RHS/ Ball Colegrave National Flowerbed Competition is great and the displays are done better here than anywhere else. It's done much bolder, brighter and better up north and the bedding schemes certainly show that."
"The exhibitiors work very hard on their flowerbeds and often put a lot of humour and skill into them. I particularly like the bed that's like a ploughed field complete with its own hare. There are some great designs with really interesting stories behind them." Crocus - the first flowers of spring 2008
Careful and clean preparation of the strawberry field result in good strawberry harvest later on. In successful agriculture all such work is done by hand ... and with love!
Large stones, rocks and roots of large other plants are carefully removed to prepare the soil for later planting of small strawberry plants.

The best way always is God's way to grow food and plants. Hence we see recently a very few farmers here to experiment with organic strawberry farming. In nature all grows in abundance, strong and delicious - a natural way.
Here a young farmer girl experiments with organic farming, using dry straw and dried grass to protect strawberries from touching soil.
Ideal would be to have low grass or any low growing plants to cover up the soil around strawberry plants. In nature we have wild strawberry plants growing amidst healthy strong grass, thus wild strawberries are touching grass instead of naked soil.
If other plants and grass are growing too high, the highest plants can be removed by hand and used as mulching - natural fertilizer!
