Strawberry Beds and Early Planting Guidelines
If beds are in bad condition begin as soon as runners can be obtained and peg them down outside the hills where they will root. By mid to late July they will be ready to plant in permanent quarters with good soil. Use roamy well drained soil and a south or southwest aspect for best results.
Strawberry Plant Care Aids Stronger Harvest
Garden notes advise controlling runners and removing crowded growth to prevent weaker plants and smaller berries. Keeping soil free of rotting weeds helps maintain vigor even without new beds.
