Introduction:

Strawberries, one of the most popular small fruits of the summer months, can be easily grown in most home gardens. Growing season varies, based on the area of the U.S. you live in. Some areas allow for up to three production cycles in one year while other areas will allow for only one cycle. Following specific planting guidelines will ensure the grower can make the most of each cycle, producing a crop of juicy, giant strawberries.

How to grow

1. Choose a location for the strawberries in an area that offers full sunlight for a minimum of eight hours per day to ensure the best quality and size berries. Plant the strawberries in raised beds to avoid drainage problems.

2. Create the raised beds for your plants. Dig a trench approximately 3 inches deep and place the irrigation tubing in place. Add approximately 2 inches of soil on the tubing, and then add the fertilizer prior to planting the strawberries.

3 Place the rows 36 to 48 inches apart and the plants 15 to 24 inches apart in each row. Place each plant into the ground, with the crown of the plant set on the surface of the soil. Firmly but gently pack the soil around the roots and water each plant. Strawberries require plenty of water to reach maximum growth and maximum berry size. Each plant will require a minimum of 1 to 1-and-1/2 inches of water weekly.

4 Pinch the flowers off as they appear. This promotes plant growth and the formation of runner plants. Runners ......

My growing season where I live in the USA is Spring time. Virginia. I have been growing strawberries for the past 6 years. I bought my plants at my sons graded school, I knew nothing about growing strawberries, and still don't. I only add fertilizer in April and clean the grass and weeds. I didn't know to pinch the blooms, but mine spread out with new runners on their own. I think the hard spring rains wash the blooms off, and therefore nature takes the place of pinching. I put up more strawberries in such a small plot then we caan eat for my family of 3. But, how do you start from a seed? Are the seeds on the strawberry that we eat? My brother lives in Texas where there season is March and sometimes April. I think strawberries are a spring crop. My strawberries don't like very hot weather. I was wondering if I could get a second season out of them if I used my green house in the fall when it cooled back down. What do you think?
