I am a little irritated with the local garden centre at the moment. These strawberries were supposed to be a late variety 'symphony' I picked them specifically to be later. Now we haven't had Wimbledon yet so how can they be a late variety?
The same garden centre when I asked them about the cranberry I bought (yes admittedly an impulse purchase so I should take what I get) told me it was suitable for the local soil, now I have found out it needs ericacous grrrrr. It is not happy so how am I going to help it.

At least you have strawberries - something's eaten every single one of mine just as it nears ripening...
However, that is particularly rubbish of the garden centre. Have words!
I bought a white iris corm, only for it to come up blue, and some aliums I was expecting to be huge, are miniscule! You just can't believe what it says on the packaging - trouble is, you can't take the plant back either.
They're certainly not a late variety are they. I'd have to have a word with the garden centre and tell them it's not the first time they've given wrong advice. You never know, you might get something out of it.
