Hi all. I've grown 4 different herbs on my first attempt with my auk mini. Everything has grown great, but everything seems to be really lacking flavour, even in comparison to supermarket bought herbs, and definitely compared to outside-grown.

There's just the faintest flavour of what the herb actually is, along with a very generic, slightly bitter 'green' flavour.

Has anyone else had this issue and have you managed to resolve it?

See pic- basil, red orrach, dill and parsley.

I’m new to the Auk and have so far only grow herbs in it with varying success. This is a big deal to me who has a very black thumb.

But I tried to grow strawberries and .. well… I don’t know what’s happening right now.

Theyre shooting off. I don’t know if this is good or bad.

My husband thinks I should move them but I’m not sure. It’s so hard to get things out without damaging the roots.
