  • A step by step guide to growing alpine strawberries from seed. Watch the entire process from January to July; from seed to fruit. Alpine strawberries are delicious little aromatic berries. They do not have the same flavor as normal strawberries. They are absolutely delicious and would make a great addition to your garden. I enjoy having them in my garden for little treats as I take a walk through my garden.

    Wow! Nice! I’ve tried growing diff strawberry varieties inside my home. BC i live in Maine, we really don’t get much of a summer. Winter seems to last us 9 months a year!!
    But I love to garden ! So i grow a lot inside, IE potatoes, tomatoes in several varieties, sweet peppers and green peppers, Many Varieties hot peppers I grow lettuce, an array of different leaves…. That and a few others i grow on a reg basis.
    However… I have always wanted to grow strawberries inside. I’ve retired bare roots in soil and hydrophobic. And I’ve tried seeds as well with soil and hydroponic. WITH NO LUCK!
    I’m def going to give this a go! Wish me luck!

    • @NickandJulie
      @NickandJulie  2 роки тому

      thanks David! no, I don't have a video made of that, I did get some footage but never edited it together into a video. Its just basically a bucket with those holes drilled in with a large drill bit spaced evenly. It worked fine, the only thing I would recommend is adding some kind of water reservoir in the middle maybe a soda/pop bottle with little holes in it or a pipe with holes in it and put it in the middle and water it through there bc some of the plants on the bottom would dry out. That is what I will do next time I make these. Thanks for watching!

Actually, our lives have completely changed 😂 We ended up leaving that property and traveling full time in a truck camper. The alpine strawberries were moved to my parent's yard. They are nice little bushes producing delicious alpine strawberries. We just eat them as treats, never collected enough for jam. Probably need to plant a lot more to collect enough to make jam since they are small. Let me know if there are any more questions! Thank you for watching and have and great week!

    • @NickandJulie
      @NickandJulie  3 роки тому

      Thank you! The containers are buckets that we drilled those holes in with a 2 inch drill bit I believe. The only thing that I would do different is put a watering pipe with holes in it down the middle as the strawberries at the bottom don't get enough water. The baby plants looked sad for a day then perked up in a few days, started growing, and did great!

There is also one variety that only grows in the Himalayas and it has a unique pink color to the berries. Its called fragaria Daltoniana. I guess isnt a strawberry with much taste but my interest is breeding it with the alpine strawberry.

    • @NickandJulie
      @NickandJulie  4 роки тому +1

      I have not posted any updates about my alpine strawberries since this video. They are still in their containers that I made from those buckets. I have not planted them out yet. But even in the top of the container, they have begun to make more plants. When I miss a strawberry and it falls to the ground, it usually sprouts and makes new plants. So I would imagine that is how they would spread when in the ground. Since most of these do not send out runners, except that one specific variety that is mentioned in the video. I garden in zone 6. :)
