I'm not sure if it's to keep 'us' in...or 'them' out but on Tuesday, the BBC local radio team were surrounded by a seven foot high fence. However, I'm relieved to report that we were left with a narrow escape route.
We started broadcasting on Wednesday with reporters and presenters from BBC Radio Stoke, Coventry and Warwickshire and Manchester. Luckily they managed to find us. You can see the aerials on the top of the 'OB' van, you can't really miss them, they're 20 foot tall - 
you just can't work out how to get in to them. We also did '2-ways' for BBC Radio Wiltshire, Oxford, Lancashire, Hereford and Worcester, Sheffield, Tees, Gloucestershire and Jersey. What's an 'OB' or a '2-way'? Like many organisations the BBC is full of jargon and acronyms...I'll share the secrets with you another time. 
Strawberry runners to multiply plants. There are 2 methods to obtain new plants. Strawberry seeds - the small / tiny grain outside each strawberry is one such method. Seeds are tiny and as a general rule of thumb, the smaller a seed, the more delicate to actually grow a plant out of a seed.
Strawberry plants however are more commonly multiplied by use of runners. After each strawberry season, each plants grows several runners. As you see from below photo, a runner grows in an arch away from the plant and after approximately 20cm touches ground again. That is where the runner starts to grow leaves and roots - while continuing its runner growth. Each runner may grow up to approx 1 meter length and have several small plants.
