Choosing Strawberry Plants:
There are basically 3 types of strawberry plants to choose from: June bearing, Everbearing and Day Neutral.
June Bearing strawberries produce a single, large crop per year during a 2 - 3 week period in the spring. June bearers are the traditionally grown plants, producing a single flush of flowers and many runners. They are classified into early, mid-season and late varieties. The largest fruits are generally from June bearing varieties.
Everbearing strawberries produce two to three harvests of fruit intermittently during the spring, summer and fall. Everbearing plants do not send out many runners.
Day Neutral strawberries will produce fruit throughout the growing season. These strawberries also produce few runners. Everbearing and day neutral strawberries are great when space is limited, but the fruits are usually somewhat smaller than June bearers. (Verticillium Rot). |

| Planting Strawberry Plants:
What ever planting method you choose, plant in the spring as soon as the soil is dry enough to be worked, or in late fall. Be sure you have certified disease-free plants and select plants with large crowns with healthy, light-colored roots. Amend the soil with 1-2 inches of organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. Make a hole large enough to spread the roots. Hill the center of the hole and place the crown at soil level. Spread the roots downward on the hill. Bury the plant so that the soil only goes halfway up the crown. Keep weeds from competing with your strawberry plants.
Where to Plant Strawberries:
When considering a locating for a strawberry patch, choose an area that gets full sun. Also, the soil should be a well-drained, sandy loam with a PH from 5.8 to 6.2. Don't plant where tomatoes, potatoes, peppers or eggplant have been grown recently.
Fertilizing Strawberries:
Start with a rich, organic soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) at planting at the rate of one pound per 100 sq. ft. Fertilize again after renovation of June bearers or second harvest of day neutrals and everbearing types. Do not over fertilizer or you will have excessive leaf growth and poor flowering. Do not fertilizer strawberries late in the season in colder climate to prevent new growth that will be damaged by frost. |
