Hi friends, Have you wondered about trying to grow your own plump, juicy, red strawberries? Well you can do it ! The First thing you will need to do is decide on what variety you would like to grow. I am currently growing Ozark Beauties which are medium size and grow quite well in a sunny location. You can find the type you would like to grow by going to our website and clicking on Burpee or Cooks garden product lines.
I get bare root starts from my garden suppliers. I always get ever bearing plants which produce to yearly crops in early summer and in the fall. Another variety is called June bearing which gives you a big harvest during late spring to early summer.
Youve picked your favorite type, now it time to select your growing pot size and shape. Fill your pot with organic potting soil about six inches from the top and press a hole in the center of the pot. Select the root end of your plant and place into the hole. Strawberries come with long roots so plant your plants to cover all of the roots right up to the crown or (the part where the stem meets the root ball). Water and Fertilize with dry organic powder fertilizer and enjoy !
