We are a second year strawberry farm in Australia and have many different varieties of strawberries planted in our fields and in our high tunnel. I enjoy watching your videos as they have helped us tremendously in our journey of making them a productive and saleable crop. As we live on the south coast of Australia many of strawberries are currently sleeping but some are still producing but not enough to sell so we wash and hull them and place them into the freezer ready to make ice cream in the summer months. Thankyou for sharing your invaluable tips :) Cheers Theresa
That's amazing Theresa! Are you able to get them cold enough for a winter dormancy where you are?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms we’ve had only a few nights so far that are around 1-2 degrees Celsius. The high tunnel cools at night and that is where we have 60 ever bearing strawberry plants that we are hoping we will get strawberries from during the cooler month that we have left for winter. One of our strawberry plants in the field has about 25 smaller strawberries that it is producing at the moment. I suspect we are going to find out whether placing the ones in the high tunnel for winter was either a good or bad decision as we may not get any fruit. Would you suggest that I take them out of the high tunnel and sit them alongside of the walls so that they get better chill hours? I had thought as an ever bearing that they would produce fruit for us in the tunnel during the winter as the grower that we purchased these from advised that what I was doing would produce fruit over the winter, so far we have had only about 10 strawberries off the 60 plants that are in there. Your guidance on this would be gratefully appreciated as if I need to move them I will do that today. Cheers Theresa - Australia
Some of the best U-Pick strawberry farms I've been to have been in western WA. I live in central WA, zone 6b. It gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Sometimes we get a lot of snow during winter and sometimes we don't. My son likes strawberries and I would like to try and grow them; but, our weather may not be the best for the strawberries to thrive in.
@@Donna_G agreed Donna.... The wet coast is just near perfect strawberry growing climate! They can be tricky outside of that
I am 6b. We grow two types in the large blue kiddy pools. I cover with straw after first hard freeze and uncover in Spring. I divide into another pool every few years. Quinault are my favorite. Huge berries
Can you do a video on how to grow an Orange Tree from seed please?
Thank you! 🙏🏾😊🙌🏾😄
I have a problem with slugs what is the best thing to do to get rid of them
👍 Thanks!
im confused.... on plant age. if i have a 5 year old plant that i pull up and separate the crowns, does that 5 year count start over when i replant the crowns?
Yes, indeed it does! :-)
Well hello my dear Jeff! It’s too late all my strawberries are dried and gone, it’s too hot here zone 9 and I’m not going to sweat it but it’s frustrating when I can’t do anything to make my plants survive here. Someone doesn’t want me to put any cover that will look bad in front of the house so 😔👩🌾 I’m just happy I have vegetables and blueberries still ❤😊, thanks for all the tips and advice, take care and happy 4th of July everyone 🙏🏻♥️
@@emylytle5409 oh shoot, sorry to hear that Emy. Zone 9 too hot, that's a shame. Are you growing blueberries?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'm in zone 9 and grow 5 varieties of strawberries. 25 days a year are over 100 degrees and with clay soil with compost added. I add wood chips on top but not mixed into the soil. I have late afternoon shade but all are doing great.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yes I have blueberries but they’re starting to drop all fruits and leaves now I’m not sure if it’s going to dry up as well, what do you think I should do it’s on a big pot individual. Thanks Jeff
Same here!!! I was gone a few days, watered well before I left and came back and they were brown watered again but they just continuing to brown they re goners so sad. 😢😢 I had worked hard on them and was getting berries.
I’m having huge problem with pill bugs getting at my strawberries in a raised bed seems like the straw mulch is perfect for them to live under,,,,any solutions?
@@socomstrider2212 traps and manual removal is the only thing that works in my experience.
Have heavy clay soil, they were not doing well, so dug them up and put in a premium potting soil - they love it. Did grow most of mine from seed over the winter, they have huge berries!
Do you mind sharing the name of the cultivar/variety of seeds you grew?
They are called Loran. Dark red all the way through the berry. Have very few runners but did manage to propagate a few in the bed. I saved the seeds from some of the first berries I picked, being a hybrid, can hardly wait to see what I get this year 😊
@@maureensamson4528 Thank you!
Strawberries are driving me nuts this year! Everything likes to eat them, birds, voles, mice! It makes me crazy!
Great vid just wondering when to cut off my runners as I have lots but they don’t have nodules on them yet I have everbearing ones
I'm the lazy type... I just wait for them to take root and then I transplant
"Great 👍👍👌👌🥰
@@fishingwithfilitsa thanks!
wake up honey, Ripe Tomato Farms uploaded a new strawberry video!
@@Sethyfisher heh heh...yessssss!
My berries get plenty of sun, ph is properly acidic and fertile. Plants look great, are over a year old, put out runners but have never put out a single flowers 😥
Have you separated them. Doubled my yield this year by doing that. They may be too crowded.
@@TaliornAII have but will separate them even more. Probably will scatter them so they work as ground cover at least if not going to produce
I grew strawberries in a fabric pot. I kinda forgot about it and it sent out runners that escaped the pot. Now I have strawberry plants all at the back edge of my yard and into the woods.
You could eventually become the Strawberry Queen Elaine!
What variety are you growing? The ones with the pink flowers.
Those are Tuscany. I had some but pulled them. The berries are not as awesome as some others. Pretty if berries are not your goal. Would make a nice ground cover.
Thank you for such a good explaination of growing the best strawberries.❤
Thank you Jeff
Huge help !!
Really do appreciate all the helpful information you share with us all
Thank you!
Strawberries- the hardest plant to grow. I’ve had little success. I give up.
Leach of plastic by those bags?
@@stevedodd595 none that I know of.
Hey Jeff
When it comes to the digging up and separating the plants, when is it best to do this? Late fall? Since my plants have stopped producing and are quite crowded can I do this now, even though it is mid summer?
i thought about starting a few strawberries from seed and putting them in my grow tent along with my citrus trees, peppers and dwarf tomatoes etc, i'd want strawberries constantly, all year long, will a june bearing one manage it when my lights are on roughly 10-12hours? ive heard they trigger by day lengths or something? if everbearing are the alpine/wild type, i find them a bit small and not as tasty as the big ones i buy from the supermarket. can you recommend a type that would work for me that i can find in seed form ?
I'm in the uk and my strawberries have grown from last years and some are growing on my patio in the cracks, so they have no soil. What can i do with them. Plus they have long runners. Tried replanting a few but they all died.
Growing from seed seems to be bloody difficult.
We have had to replace our entire strawberry as we got nowt this year again
My strawberry plants has a lot of aphids at the base and the ants are all over it and some are starting to die, any suggestion what i can do to get rid of the aphids, tried neem oil already.
@@GrowEdibleInstead usually just opening them up with a cleaning of shoots is enough to get them under control.... If not, then that plus a soap spray works great
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you.
@@GrowEdibleInstead let us know how you make out with it!
Same problem, not sure if we have gnats or aphid, using need oil and fighting
@@jenmv3483 the worst... Hate those guys. Do you have ladybugs present?
Great video. Thank you 👍
Jeff, where do you get that big bag of straw
Hi Brandy, I get mine locally at the feed supply store. Just makes sure its clean and doesn't contain any hay! 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you 😊
This is my second year of my everbaring, and they definitely came back bigger and stronger than the first year ❤ Cannot wait till the 3rd n 4th. Wouldn't have been possible without your teachings !!
Right on Ashley! I see giant harvests in your future!
Hey Jeff,
Thanks for all your great videos. I have a bumper crop of strawberries here in Montana. So many that we're sharing them with the birds. We grow them in 8'x4' raised bed. They're so thick we don't even have to mulch them! Thanks again
Joe
@@Joe-Skier that's so awesome Joe! D go you know what variety you planted?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Most are ever baring with a few June bearing. They're so thick now I can't tell one from the other. Last summer had at least 50 runners climb out of the box and took root in native soil with wood chips. Of course those berries are smaller but I'll eventually transplant them in the box. One thing I seriously struggle with is blueberries. Our soil has a lot of clay and is alkaline so I need to grow blueberries similar to strawberries
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms on second thought I'm thinking most are June baring because not too many blossoms remain
@@Joe-Skier yeah, that sounds like the case. Still awesome though. Many people actually prefer those varieties!
@@Joe-Skier For the blueberries, have you thought of going potted or in grow bags? That way you can control the pH more......unless you have hundreds of plants. Just an idea for possibly less headaches.
Why do everbearing return to forest plants most of the time?
@@1964_AMU what do you mean by that?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I bought 3 everbearing from Italy and left the stolons go through a mixed border. After 3 years I have got tiny fruits like the ones you can find in our forests in Belgium.
@@1964_AMU ahhhhhhh... Gotcha. Small berries could be because of the energy spent expanding and putting out runners. That all takes energy and could result in smaller fruit.
Last season I discovered strawberry plants and pumpkin vines get along really well when they have enough room to run together.
Next season I want to see how sowing corn, pole beans, and pumpkin goes in the strawberry patch with the strawberries (obviously).
I have managed to germinate a garlic seed sprout. New cultivar for the world. Hopefully. Knock on wood.
This is what happens when you're a frustrated former bio-researcher, you will DIY experiment when opportunity presents itself.
Morning Jeff. One question please the straw mulch in bags where do you buy it from is it an animal bedding straw I live in Tasmania and although can find it in another state for garden mulch it’s too expensive to ship. Thanks Jeff. My last lot of sugar cane mulch bagged was not great so looking for alternative
My strawberries grown from seed seemed to be doing okay previous years. This year though, we had erratic temperature swings, from an unseasonably cold spring, to several heatwaves in a row. Then, of course, I had mugwort growing all through my strawberry patch that was nearly impossible to pull out without disturbing the strawberries. Sometimes I don't think I'll ever get an actual harvest.
Hahaha...Great crop this year if the chipmunks would leave me some! Great tips though. Bought a 5 tier shelf to put them on...hopefully that helps 😂❤😊
Great video 👍
