The Garden of Earthly Delights is popular because we can see surreal images of our own, modern existence in it. Since the 1960s, it has been hailed as a psychedelic romp. Those giant strawberries are like free narcotics at a music festival. What strikes us when we look at it is the sheer joyous excess and mad profusion of this painter’s mind. Was he some kind of heretic, speculating on an alternative lifestyle of free love and fruity fun with no thought of tomorrow? And you ARE going to want to know which plants are oldest, if you want the biggest juiciest strawberries there are. Our berry plants are the everbearing variety; the following information applies no matter which strawberry variety you choose to plant. Strawberries should be planted out as soon as possible - only plant outdoors once all risk of frost has gone. The Ilan variety of strawberry was originally bred by Dr. Nir Dai, a researcher from the Israel's Agricultural Research Organization ( ARO), at the ARO Volcani Center in Bet-Dagan, near Tel-Aviv.

It’s not so shallow that the roots can become exposed. If you're planting into a basket, it's best to limit yourself to three or four strawberry plants in a 30cm (12in) basket.
