They are ready for the spring

I've never put strawberries in, but it sure does sound good. I take that back. When I owned my first home in Plymouth, Mass, there were some strawberry plants in the back yard that put out the biggest strawberries I'd ever seen. Unfortunately I had my second child while there and was still on active duty, so there was little time to mess with any of that stuff. I do have one strawberry pot here. How much can you grow in one pot?

My strawberries are planted on the west side of the house so only gets the afternoon sun. As a result, they haven't started peeking thru the leaf mulch yet. When they do thou, watch out, cause 4 plants last spring turned into over 40 by mid fall. I was having a hard time keeping them under control. There were supposed to be tons of strawberries, but since I didn't cover them, the rabbits and deer had a feast compliments of your's truely. This spring I have armed myself with a floating row cover that lets the air,water, and sun in but keeps the pesky critters out. Nothing tastes better than a sun-ripened and warmed strawberry thou.

our weather is pretty much like yours, how to do you plant strawberries and when exactly do you plant them? I might like to try my hand at it.

None in my yard ill just be stealing from you of course. I think I may try again this year we will see mabey wait till next year.

Hi GRANDPA BOB! Wow, that would be really fantastic to have strawberries in your garden. Beautiful to look at and very,very yummy to the tummy! haha.. We can't grow strawberries in our area because of the hot climate here but in Baguio City, that is northern part of our country, there is an abundant supply of strawberries. When we usually go there, we do some strawberry picking and we just pay for all the strawberries that we have picked but not what we have already eaten while picking. haha..It was fun! Just my thoughts my friend. Take care and have a nice day. :)

amen to that Grandpa Bob warm strawberries right off the vine so delicious thereis none to compare. I bought a large container of strawberries yesterday at Vons and it cost me three dollars. yikes. but they were ripe and tasted so good that between yesterday and today I ate them all up. I suppose you could raise strawberries here, why not? It is around ninety and its 7;39 at night we have the aircondioner on. so berries should thrive. Ihave a plot that could hold a few berry plants and a tomato or two,it needs to be dug up and weeded first. I only have one and a half arms with which to do this though. My shoulder joint replacement might have thrilled the doctor and nurses but after two years and a lot of therapy I still cannot lift myleft arm more than eight or ten inches darn. so my son would have to do most of the digging. trouble is hes not into gardening. lol

I love strawberry too, Grandpa Bob, But i Have only small yard to plant, and Kuta is so hot, I don't think strawberri plant can stand the heat of the sun.

Hey there gramps..Wow Strawberries..I love strawberries. I don't have strawberries in my Garden.Usually strawberries are in a place called Baguio here in the Philippines. It grows well in cold places. It will just die here in our place because it is very hot and I don't think the strawberries would want our hot weather here. Some malls have them but it's much nicer to get it fresh right off Baguio.

Wow webeishere! Food for thought. I'm a flower gardener that loves my plants that divide and multiply on their own or reseed themselves. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. They are beautiful and taste great. I live in California less than five miles from one of the most productive strawberry growing areas in the US, but even so the prices in the super and farmers markets keep escalating. I think I'm now tempted to grow my own. Thanx for planing the seed.

Wow! Those are lovely grandpa Bob. I missed home... at my province, we have strawberries and it's just so nice to pick one at the garden and ate it there at the same time. We don't use chemicals to protect or grow them, it's easy to make them grow, they multiply easily and their vines spreads fast. Though, we don't have snow, it's just summer or rainy days. Yes, it's better and seems sweeter when you just picked them at eat right off the vine. Memories.. makes me really brings back home..

I use to have everlasting strawberries, but they didn't do well..I just have wild strawberries now..They are new, I transplanted them from a neighbor about 2 years ago..So we will see if I get anything, because this neighbor got a lot from these, I am hoping we will too..

we don't have strawberry here. your lucky enough it common in your area. Only mangoes, banana, durian and mangostein are common here. and sometimes lanzones is very affordable. we are tropical country so only season we have. rainy and dry seasons.
