Man, this was just what I needed!!! Especially showing how to thin the bed! You’d be amazed how hard that specific help is to find on the internet!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to manage our bed for a month and haven’t found info so helpful! Thanks!!!
Happy birthday Mac. This is my second year growing strawberries. I lost half of last years plants due to cold. I am just planting new ones this week. Cheers from chilly east coast of Canada 🇨🇦
This is my first year with strawberries. I bought a few plants, some bare roots, and also started some from seeds from strawberries I bought from the store. Seeds take FOREVER. But everyone should learn how to do it. I started them hydroponically during the winter. They are doing great in the soil now. Today I picked one ripe strawberry from one of the plants I had bought and put it in my pocket because I had fish emulsion on my hands and didn't want the smell to ruin my strawberry experience. 10 minutes later, it was squished in my pocket, but I still ate it and it was yummy!
Hello Miss Kim. Thanks for your knowledge . I'm a new gardener, 2nd year. 31 from ohio. I feel your passion for gardening in your words and that's what I wanna be

I have a couple butternut squash that are just getting their second leaves. I’m glad to hear it’s still good to plant in July. I also have some of your red pollinator collection going 🎉🎉
Hi from Texas! We just had Beryl rage through our yards, but I am hoping I can still get some strawberries later this summer. I have no idea what kind of strawberries I have. I just harvested the seeds from a pint of store bought strawberries. Much love to Max!
Glad it was helpful! Do me a favor, keep us all posted how it goes, okay? THANK YOU for subbing and clicking on the thumbs up button of each video you watch - that really helps our channel! Let us know how this goes!
The trough is so cool! Found it at an antique show, and it had natural holes. I placed pea gravel under it for better drainage. We have a ton of trees, so finding a sunny spot has gotten a little tricky. I’ve been gardening for years, but never with fruits and veggies. This year I pulled out all the stops (recently retired). I believe I’m subscribed but will double check. Thank you for your tips! 😊
Yes, it's perfectly fine to add earthworms to a composting system, such as a bucket, and feed them small amounts of kitchen scraps. Earthworms are excellent decomposers and play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into nutrient-rich compost. When feeding earthworms kitchen scraps, it's important to provide them with a balanced diet. Avoid feeding them large amounts of acidic or oily foods, dairy products, meat, or citrus fruits! CK
Hi Kim your videos are full of knowledge thank for all the strategies, I have just started my strawberry gardening, mine is flowering and then dying can you please give any tips, also have subscribed so i don't miss any of your videos. Happy birthday Max🎂

Woof, Woof, Mac! (Happy Birthday Mac!) Well, this explains why my strawberry production hasn’t been that great before. I’m always forgetting to feed my crops, strawberries and everything else.
Since I started mulching my strawberries with wood chips over shredded leaves (because of jumping worms) and a perennial cover crop of thyme, my strawberries have really almost doubled in size. I believe it is due to the increase in the fungal composition of the soil. All I fertilize with is home raised worm castings and a few compost/worm teas throughout the year. One year I gave too much nitrogen, had huge plants but tiny berries. Enjoy your channel, Stay Well!!!!
Very cool! My Albion Strawberries are looking perfect in my 15 gallon grow bags. My dollar tree stackers are also looking wonderful after tons of Spring rain 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Happy Birthday, Mac! I’m sad that he’s getting old…. I haven’t been on here for a while, need to catch up….. but how is your lemon tree? Is it thriving in the pot, or have you transplanted it to the ground?

Hiya! These strawberries look amazing! Just so you know, that yellow mustard plant in the red pot is super invasive in many areas and if left to go to seed will spread to your whole garden and neighbors. Sorry for the unsolicited advice!!
I am definitely learning a lot. I sure wish I saw these videos sooner… Lol! I purchased a large old trough that I thought would be fun to plant strawberries and flowers, etc. The strawberries on the edge are doing the best because the strawberries can hang over the edge, so it looks like it’s best to give them a place where they can hang? Also, my adorable dachshund has found the strawberries… He loves strawberries! I am considering moving these to a different area and maybe in a hanging basket, but it does get really hot here in the summertime so I am worried about them drying out there. I like your crate method. Where did you get your crates? Do you purchase these or ask a store for them? I don’t want to have to put a fence around my cute trough. Love your videos! 😊
Glad to hear you are learning a lot. The old trough sounds nice and earthy. Does it have holes to drain ? As for letting them hang, yes. That is the idea. Note that drainage and heat protection are critical. Remember the black shade cloth !!! LOL on your dachshund!!! The crates I found were old milk crates - they are firmer and stronger than the dollar store thin, flimsy crates. Be aware of the build Of the crates you consider using! Doing great out there ! Keep it going- one step at a time! Love your energy - have you subscribed yet?? Thank you for watching and commenting ! CaliKim

Thank you for such a great infos on strawberry; this is the first year that I'm planting and I need to know these. How do I keep my strawberry that is in the strawberry pot in winter? Do I get them out or leave them where they are? thanks,
If you have space, bringing the strawberry pot indoors to an unheated garage, shed, or basement can protect the plants from the harshest winter conditions. Ensure the location stays cool but does not freeze, ideally between 35-45°F (1.5-7°C). Hope this helps - CK
Happy Birthday MAC! My small neglected terra cotta "strawberry planter" (would be better for cactus/succulent) blew up with what must be everbearing this week! 🍓
Happy Birthday, Max 🍖! Hi Kim, I have a couple of questions. 1. Can you put ground up eggshells in all your vegetables that you plant in the soil that are in containers? 2. Do you have to put both liquid and granular fertilizer in your containers and how often should you feed the fertilizer to your vegetables?
Good question. Answer: Yes and yes. Eggshells are a natural source of calcium, can help prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes, peppers, and other plants. And, can deter certain pests, like slugs and snails, due to their sharp edges. Sidenote: do not rely on eggshells alone to fertilize..use worm castings, granular fertilizers, etc. Granular fertilizer is timed slow release (overtime) applied every 2 mos.. Water soluble, is immediate nutrients to the plant, applied every 2-3 weeks. Note the containers need fed more often thus the high frequency I noted above. Hope this helps, Terry and let me know when you do this! Please subscribe if you haven't and click the thumbs up for the videos that you watch - as this helps the channel in return. CaliKim
Thank you so much, CaliKim for this video info.💌 I'm planting strawberries this week.🍓 I had some come up from seed, too. 😯I'm stoked. 🤗 Got my sluggo ready to go, too! 🐌 Happy Birthday, Mac, handsome guy!🥳🥳🥳 Big hugs & head pats to you, and blessings of longevity on you, pup.🐶 Every garden should have such a cool canine mascot🥰😎🌻🥳🙏
So nice of you, Annie, your comment really made me smile - you positivity and love Mac! Great work on the strawberry planting ! Keep everyone posted! Thank you! CK
I thought i might be doing something wrong as to why most of my strawberry roots haven't grown, yet. Only 2 have given off fruit. It's too hot and I need to shade them. Thankfully I picked up shade cloth recently as the place I go to had them on sale. The temp here is now close to 100 and we still have July and August, when it gets hotter. Thank you.
Happy Birthday MAC ❤🤗Hope you have a great day in the garden😊Psst Mac, those red things spilling over the raised beds are delicious! Don’t tell CaliKim that I told you😉😉
Happy 13th birthday Mac!!! Another great video Kim! ❤❤❤ Turns out that I’m doing strawberries well. Got 6 out of 8 bases covered. Only growing Everbearing (bought a flat of 6 to share with mom) and inconsistent watering/feeding, which I’m working on figuring out. Straw mulch has helped a ton with that 😅 I do have a question about the leaves. Some of mine have areas that are kinda dark; some around edges and some towards the middle. Should I be concerned or is it normal? I’ve seen other peoples strawberry plants have them too ❤❤❤❤❤ Gonna look into the Monterey line for sure, slugs like our sunflower patch (rip to my moms sunflowers) 😢 In the Livestream there was a spray that helped with powdery mildew; gonna grab that too. ❤
Dark areas on strawberry leaves can be a sign of fungal disease, nutrient deficiency, or environmental stress. It’s important to accurately diagnose the issue by closely inspecting the leaves and considering recent care and environmental conditions. Look closely at the pattern and location of the dark areas. Check for other symptoms such as white powder (powdery mildew), concentric rings (leaf spot), or irregular patterns (leaf blight). Early intervention, such as removing affected leaves, improving plant care, and using appropriate treatments, can help manage and mitigate these problems. If the issue persists or worsens, consider consulting with a local Nursery for their input - CaliKim
In Tennessee, the best time to plant strawberries is typically in the early spring, around late March to early April. This timing allows the plants to establish their root systems before the hot summer weather sets in. Here are some pointers - There are three main types of strawberries you can choose from: June-bearing: These produce one large crop in late spring to early summer. They are the most common type and are well-suited for Tennessee. Ever-bearing: These produce two to three harvests throughout the growing season (spring, summer, and fall). Day-neutral: These produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, as long as the temperature stays between 35°F and 85°F. Let me know which you choose! Thanks for your comments, Michael. CK
Thanks for subbing and welcome!! I hope my videos are inspiring and equipping you for gardening! Tell me where you are and what you are growing right now? Oh and...Mac says "thank you". CaliKim
In a 5-gallon container, it is generally best to start with one to two strawberry plants. This allows each plant enough space to grow and spread out, ensuring they have adequate access to nutrients, water, and sunlight. Overcrowding the container can lead to poor air circulation, increased risk of disease, and competition for resources, which can hinder plant growth and fruit production. I hope this helps - Michael. Thanks for commenting! CaliKim
Yep, that could do it! But that's cool, Donna, that you realized that now...so you know going forward NOT to do that! That is the fun part of gardening!! Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you are subscriber, I enjoyed your comment! CaliKim
Yes, it is. The link is in the video description (always read my video descriptions for deets). Thank you for watching. All about the organic when possible. Thank YOU for following all of these years. CK
I tried straw mulch, didn’t much like it. Harbored pests, grew grassy weeds in my pots and the berries burrowed down through. I switched to coconut fiber - much better.
Thank you!! He is really chill for a border collie - he just enjoys being out there with me!!! Thank you for subbing me! Where are you and what are you growing right now? CK
@@CaliKim29 Hi Kim! Been subbed for about a decade! I'm in Puerto Rico, zone 12 maybe. I have banana, a pineapple, aloe, passion fruit vine, tumeric, ginger, yautia(potato-like tuber), basil, bunching onion, and flowers growing in my small garden. I brought a strawberry plant, but it died, so your video gave me some insight at why it might be.
Welcome, Patricia! Great to have you!! Thank you for the compliment on the video, before I forget to tell you! So tell me where you are and what you have growing right now! Thank you!! CaliKim
@@CaliKim29 Thank you. I live in the PNW, Portland Oregon. It finally warmed up. It was cold and raining up until last Wednesday; extended rainy season for us. I just planted three varieties of tomato, two varieties of squash, two varieties of cucumber, and strawberries. My spinach and parsley are still doing well from last fall. I also have one watermelon starter I have to plant, we’ll see, we don’t have a very long growing season here, but I’ll try. 😊 Next trip to the nursery, I’ll pick up a few flowering plants that attract pollinators and put them close to my food garden.
Happy 13th Birthday to handsome Mac. Good to know about planting different types of strawberries together. I only have one kind and they aren’t producing much yet. Although they did during the winter. 🤷♀️
I live in CT and have pretty cold winters. Would the strawberries survive in the greenhouse and still produce or do they go into hibernation? Thank you.
In Connecticut, where winters are quite cold, strawberries will naturally go into dormancy during the winter, even in a greenhouse. However, the greenhouse can help protect them from extreme cold and frost, which is beneficial. Here’s what to expect: Dormancy: Strawberries typically go into a hibernation-like state during winter. Even in a greenhouse, unless it’s heated, the cooler temperatures will trigger this dormancy. They won’t produce fruit during this time. Greenhouse Benefits: While your strawberries might not produce fruit in winter, a greenhouse can extend their growing season slightly, allowing them to stay active longer in the fall and start growing earlier in the spring. Winter Care: Keep the soil slightly moist, but not too wet, during the winter months. If your greenhouse is unheated, consider insulating the strawberry beds or using row covers to add an extra layer of protection. Once spring arrives, the warmth in the greenhouse will help wake them up faster, and they’ll start producing again. Hope this helps, Matthew! Kim
The darn birds keep stealing my new babies. Rawr! I cut top/bottom off 2ltr bottle - staked that thing down over it and fingers crossed. 🤞 I’ve never had a garden before so it’s all a learning experience, pretty much :) Question: I am in IL which means rest of summer will be far over temp, and add the humidity in as well. Would you suggest the shade cloth remains on daily and if so, should it only be topped and sides open? I assume they prefer the air circulation when hot but want to make sure
We've already had to battle the dang earwigs here in So Cal in early May!!! I've been having good success with Seven, sprayed twice a week for one week.
Thank you! Please thumbs up the video and subscribe if you have not already (I can't always tell who has subscribed)! CaliKim Where are you and what are you growing?
My 6 strawberry plants are growing like crazy since March.... nothing but lots of leaves and runners.... should I cut all the runners off now? No strawberries so far...maybw they'll produce next year? No idea what lind pf strawberry im growing, but i bought little seedlings at the farmers market on Jeju island, South Korea...
It sounds like your strawberry plants are really thriving with all those leaves and runners! Since you haven't seen any strawberries yet, it might be a good idea to trim off some of the runners. This can help the plant focus more energy on producing fruit rather than expanding its runners. As for the variety of strawberry, if you bought them as seedlings at the farmers market on Jeju Island, South Korea, they could be a local variety well-suited to the climate there. Strawberries generally produce fruit in their second year, so even if you don't see strawberries this year, with proper care, they should bear fruit next year. Keep the plants healthy and well-watered, and they'll reward you with delicious strawberries in due time! CaliKim

You may enjoy my livestreams every Monday *except holidays* the chatting starts with other gardeners at 11:30am. Live starts at 12pm. We have team from SmartPot and Monterey Lawn and Garden on the lives, too, available for their insight, to all gardeners. Pretty cool. Thank you again - and I look forward to hearing from you - CaliKim
Most likely powdery mildew - that thrives in humid conditions, especially during periods of frequent rain. We need to get your plants some air + a few other things. Try this - Prune. Remove and discard any affected plant parts, such as leaves or stems showing signs of powdery mildew. This can help reduce the spread of the fungus. Increase Air Circulation around your plants by spacing them adequately and pruning to allow for better airflow. This can help reduce humidity levels. Avoid overhead watering. You've got some work to do! Let us know how it goes - don't beat yourself up over this --- it happens and now you know, right? Look forward to hearing from you - Thank you for watching and commenting. CaliKim. Please be sure to like the video and subscribe if you have not already!
When it comes to runners, such as those from strawberries or other plants that propagate through them, it's important to allow them to stay connected to the mother plant long enough for them to establish a good root system. Typically, you should let the runners remain attached for about 4-6 weeks after they start forming roots. During this time, the new plants are still relying on the mother plant for nutrients and support. Once the new plants have developed a robust root system and are visibly growing well, you can gently detach them from the mother plant. Make sure to handle them carefully to avoid damaging the new roots. If you are finding my channel helpful, Cyndi - do subscribe and the thumbs up the videos that you watch! That would be appreciated!!! Keep me posted, CaliKim
@@CaliKim29 THANK YOU SO MUCH. I assumed as much, lol. i attached small hanging pots under my hanging baskets for them. so the 6 week rooting was helpful. ACKKK but it keeps the slugs and rodents, and easy handicap access. Next question : my daughter is upset with me because I gave her some rooted runners that i think is just a ground cover.[no berries where produced, just flowers} So, can they cross pollinate??? because she says they screwed up her other strawberry plants. I really appreciate your helpful reply!!! from richmond bc, canada
Some things you can check Raymond.... Check soil moisture - make sure it's not dry. Make sure the plant can get enough sunlight where it's at right now. Prune away dead parts of crown/plant as they are using up the plants' resources. Ferilize and protect/check for pests. Let's start there and see if this helps! Go for it and let us all know - the plants need those basic things to be strong! CaliKim
If your strawberry plant has dried out but still has some green in the stems or roots, there’s a chance you can revive it. Here are some gentle revival tips that may help: Start by gently checking the roots. If they’re brown and brittle, the plant may not be salvageable, but if you see any pale, flexible roots, there’s hope. Trim away any dead or completely dried leaves, runners, or roots to focus the plant’s energy on recovery. Since you’ve already added bone meal and banana water, the plant has received some nutrients. Be cautious with fertilizers for now, as too much can overwhelm a weakened plant. Instead, give it a thorough watering and make sure the soil stays moist (but not soggy) for the next few days. Place the plant in a spot with indirect sunlight or partial shade, as direct summer sun may stress it further. Gradually move it to brighter light as it begins to recover. Watch for new growth at the crown (the part where the leaves and roots meet), which is a good sign that it’s bouncing back. If the plant doesn’t show improvement in a couple of weeks, you might try rooting some fresh strawberry runners, if available, to start new plants for the summer. LMK!!! CK
Calling CaliKim..I need tips on when to pick fully ripe strawberries for maximum flavor. Some folks say pick on a sunny day, others say early in the morning. I've read don't water for 2-3 days prior to picking otherwise the flavor will be diluted. Some say store them in the fridge to keep longer while others say no keep them on the counter and that each method of storage can affect the sweetness. Confer with birthday boy Mac on what this strawberry rookie should do--thanks!
Fred, I talked to Mac, he says: I can't speak to all of those examples given but I can say the following: -Look for fully red berries. Strawberries do not ripen further after picking, so choose berries that are uniformly red with no green or white tips. the berries should be firm and plump, not soft or mushy. -Ideally, pick strawberries in the morning when they are cool and have had a chance to plump up with moisture overnight. -If the plants or berries are wet from rain or irrigation, allow them to dry before picking to prevent diluting the flavor. Mac & Kim
That's odd. I wonder if it was truly mislabeled? Everbearing plants typically produce two main crops: one in early summer and another in late summer to fall, with some fruiting sporadically throughout the season. Since confirming the plant type maybe more work than it's worth at this point (that's your decision to make) perhaps scrap it and start over? Sorry about this, Chrissy - CaliKim
I have noticed something else about strawberries is the more that they are waters with county that they don't have any flavor. I would like to know if any other people noticed it?
I need to continuously trim the leaves on my strawberry plants...the leaves get huge, and too crowded. Is this ok, to trim the leaves back? Such big problems with aphids this year, a huge infestation on all plants.
Yes, it's perfectly fine to trim the leaves on your strawberry plants, especially if they're becoming overcrowded or if the leaves are getting too large. Doing so will help the following: better air circulation, allowing more light to come in, so more resources go to the plant. Win-Win! Aphids, UGH. Been there done that. What I would do in your case is quickly apply Monterey's Take Down - an organic insecticide that contains natural pyrethrins derived from chrysanthemum flowers.Take Down contains pyrethrins, which have a QUICK knockdown effect on aphids and other soft-bodied insects. Take Down RTU *ready to use, which means you don't have to mix with water, ,etc. It's ready to be used out of the bottle, is approved for organic gardening and is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI).

Happy Birthday MAC! My small neglected terra cotta "strawberry planter" (would be better for cactus/succulent) blew up with what must be everbearing this week! 🍓
Niiiiice !! Great job, as always. CK
Happy Birthday, Max 🍖! Hi Kim, I have a couple of questions. 1. Can you put ground up eggshells in all your vegetables that you plant in the soil that are in containers? 2. Do you have to put both liquid and granular fertilizer in your containers and how often should you feed the fertilizer to your vegetables?
Good question. Answer: Yes and yes.
Eggshells are a natural source of calcium, can help prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes, peppers, and other plants. And, can deter certain pests, like slugs and snails, due to their sharp edges.
Sidenote: do not rely on eggshells alone to fertilize..use worm castings, granular fertilizers, etc.
Granular fertilizer is timed slow release (overtime) applied every 2 mos.. Water soluble, is immediate nutrients to the plant, applied every 2-3 weeks. Note the containers need fed more often thus the high frequency I noted above. Hope this helps, Terry and let me know when you do this!

Thank you so much, CaliKim for this video info.💌 I'm planting strawberries this week.🍓 I had some come up from seed, too. 😯I'm stoked. 🤗 Got my sluggo ready to go, too! 🐌 Happy Birthday, Mac, handsome guy!🥳🥳🥳 Big hugs & head pats to you, and blessings of longevity on you, pup.🐶 Every garden should have such a cool canine mascot🥰😎🌻🥳🙏
So nice of you, Annie, your comment really made me smile - you positivity and love Mac! Great work on the strawberry planting ! Keep everyone posted! Thank you! CK
@@CaliKim29 will do for sure❤️👍
I'm new at growing strawberries. Someone told me to pinch off the first blooms ,and you'll get bigger strawberries. True or false?
Also I love your border collie, I've had 3 in the past and miss them greatly. ❤
Not a true or false. You can do it, but you are not always guaranteed bigger strawberries, but it is, however, what I do.
Thank you so much ❤! Your video helps me for my first time strawberry plants.
I thought i might be doing something wrong as to why most of my strawberry roots haven't grown, yet. Only 2 have given off fruit. It's too hot and I need to shade them. Thankfully I picked up shade cloth recently as the place I go to had them on sale. The temp here is now close to 100 and we still have July and August, when it gets hotter. Thank you.
Happy Birthday MAC ❤🤗Hope you have a great day in the garden😊Psst Mac, those red things spilling over the raised beds are delicious! Don’t tell CaliKim that I told you😉😉
Hey now ….
Happy 13th birthday Mac!!! Another great video Kim! ❤❤❤
Turns out that I’m doing strawberries well. Got 6 out of 8 bases covered. Only growing Everbearing (bought a flat of 6 to share with mom) and inconsistent watering/feeding, which I’m working on figuring out. Straw mulch has helped a ton with that 😅
I do have a question about the leaves. Some of mine have areas that are kinda dark; some around edges and some towards the middle. Should I be concerned or is it normal? I’ve seen other peoples strawberry plants have them too
❤❤❤❤❤
Gonna look into the Monterey line for sure, slugs like our sunflower patch (rip to my moms sunflowers) 😢 In the Livestream there was a spray that helped with powdery mildew; gonna grab that too. ❤
Dark areas on strawberry leaves can be a sign of fungal disease, nutrient deficiency, or environmental stress. It’s important to accurately diagnose the issue by closely inspecting the leaves and considering recent care and environmental conditions. Look closely at the pattern and location of the dark areas.
Check for other symptoms such as white powder (powdery mildew), concentric rings (leaf spot), or irregular patterns (leaf blight).
Early intervention, such as removing affected leaves, improving plant care, and using appropriate treatments, can help manage and mitigate these problems. If the issue persists or worsens, consider consulting with a local Nursery for their input -

I live in Tennessee, when is the best time to plant strawberries? Thanks
In Tennessee, the best time to plant strawberries is typically in the early spring, around late March to early April. This timing allows the plants to establish their root systems before the hot summer weather sets in. Here are some pointers -
There are three main types of strawberries you can choose from:
June-bearing: These produce one large crop in late spring to early summer. They are the most common type and are well-suited for Tennessee.
Ever-bearing: These produce two to three harvests throughout the growing season (spring, summer, and fall).
Day-neutral: These produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season, as long as the temperature stays between 35°F and 85°F.
Let me know which you choose! Thanks for your comments, Michael. CK
Hello CaliKim, I’m a new subscriber and a first time gardener 🌱Love the content on your channel very informative and helpful! Happy Birthday Max…🐶❤

Thank you, just what I need. I just enrolled in your class(subscribed ❤). Appreciate you
How many strawberry plants would you generally start in a 5 gallon container?...ty
In a 5-gallon container, it is generally best to start with one to two strawberry plants. This allows each plant enough space to grow and spread out, ensuring they have adequate access to nutrients, water, and sunlight. Overcrowding the container can lead to poor air circulation, increased risk of disease, and competition for resources, which can hinder plant growth and fruit production. I hope this helps - Michael. Thanks for commenting! CaliKim

I tried straw mulch, didn’t much like it. Harbored pests, grew grassy weeds in my pots and the berries burrowed down through. I switched to coconut fiber - much better.

@@CaliKim29 Thank you.
I live in the PNW, Portland Oregon. It finally warmed up. It was cold and raining up until last Wednesday; extended rainy season for us.
I just planted three varieties of tomato, two varieties of squash, two varieties of cucumber, and strawberries.
My spinach and parsley are still doing well from last fall.
I also have one watermelon starter I have to plant, we’ll see, we don’t have a very long growing season here, but I’ll try. 😊
Next trip to the nursery, I’ll pick up a few flowering plants that attract pollinators and put them close to my food garden.
Happy Birthday sweet pup!
Thank you!!
Very helpful thank you.
You are welcome!
Happy 13th Birthday to handsome Mac. Good to know about planting different types of strawberries together. I only have one kind and they aren’t producing much yet. Although they did during the winter. 🤷♀️
Thanks so much
I live in CT and have pretty cold winters. Would the strawberries survive in the greenhouse and still produce or do they go into hibernation? Thank you.
In Connecticut, where winters are quite cold, strawberries will naturally go into dormancy during the winter, even in a greenhouse. However, the greenhouse can help protect them from extreme cold and frost, which is beneficial.
Here’s what to expect:
Dormancy: Strawberries typically go into a hibernation-like state during winter. Even in a greenhouse, unless it’s heated, the cooler temperatures will trigger this dormancy. They won’t produce fruit during this time.
Greenhouse Benefits: While your strawberries might not produce fruit in winter, a greenhouse can extend their growing season slightly, allowing them to stay active longer in the fall and start growing earlier in the spring.
Winter Care: Keep the soil slightly moist, but not too wet, during the winter months. If your greenhouse is unheated, consider insulating the strawberry beds or using row covers to add an extra layer of protection.
Once spring arrives, the warmth in the greenhouse will help wake them up faster, and they’ll start producing again. Hope this helps, Matthew! Kim
What kind of strawberries are those that have yellow flowers! I've only seen white and pink flowers on strawberries.
I believe those were Mustard Greens were going to flower (not Strawberries) they kind of meshed in together. CK. Thanks for watching - CK
The darn birds keep stealing my new babies. Rawr! I cut top/bottom off 2ltr bottle - staked that thing down over it and fingers crossed. 🤞 I’ve never had a garden before so it’s all a learning experience, pretty much :)
Question: I am in IL which means rest of summer will be far over temp, and add the humidity in as well. Would you suggest the shade cloth remains on daily and if so, should it only be topped and sides open? I assume they prefer the air circulation when hot but want to make sure
We've already had to battle the dang earwigs here in So Cal in early May!!! I've been having good success with Seven, sprayed twice a week for one week.

Precious, aren't they, Lisa? CK
My 6 strawberry plants are growing like crazy since March.... nothing but lots of leaves and runners.... should I cut all the runners off now? No strawberries so far...maybw they'll produce next year? No idea what lind pf strawberry im growing, but i bought little seedlings at the farmers market on Jeju island, South Korea...
It sounds like your strawberry plants are really thriving with all those leaves and runners! Since you haven't seen any strawberries yet, it might be a good idea to trim off some of the runners. This can help the plant focus more energy on producing fruit rather than expanding its runners.
As for the variety of strawberry, if you bought them as seedlings at the farmers market on Jeju Island, South Korea, they could be a local variety well-suited to the climate there. Strawberries generally produce fruit in their second year, so even if you don't see strawberries this year, with proper care, they should bear fruit next year.
Keep the plants healthy and well-watered, and they'll reward you with delicious strawberries in due time! CaliKim

What about when white fuzzy fungi starts to grow in the strawberries? This just started to happen to mine and it’s been very rainy here
Most likely powdery mildew - that thrives in humid conditions, especially during periods of frequent rain. We need to get your plants some air + a few other things. Try this -
Prune. Remove and discard any affected plant parts, such as leaves or stems showing signs of powdery mildew. This can help reduce the spread of the fungus.
Increase Air Circulation around your plants by spacing them adequately and pruning to allow for better airflow. This can help reduce humidity levels.
Avoid overhead watering.
You've got some work to do! Let us know how it goes - don't beat yourself up over this --- it happens and now you know, right? Look forward to hearing from you - Thank you for watching and commenting. CaliKim. Please be sure to like the video and subscribe if you have not already!
Happy 13th birthday Mac 🐕 🎉 🎂 👏
question. Runners, i have found that if i cut off the umbilical cord from mother plant the new plants fail. How long do I need to leave them on?
When it comes to runners, such as those from strawberries or other plants that propagate through them, it's important to allow them to stay connected to the mother plant long enough for them to establish a good root system. Typically, you should let the runners remain attached for about 4-6 weeks after they start forming roots.
During this time, the new plants are still relying on the mother plant for nutrients and support. Once the new plants have developed a robust root system and are visibly growing well, you can gently detach them from the mother plant. Make sure to handle them carefully to avoid damaging the new roots.
If you are finding my channel helpful, Cyndi - do subscribe and the thumbs up the videos that you watch! That would be appreciated!!! Keep me posted, CaliKim
@@CaliKim29 THANK YOU SO MUCH. I assumed as much, lol. i attached small hanging pots under my hanging baskets for them. so the 6 week rooting was helpful. ACKKK but it keeps the slugs and rodents, and easy handicap access.
Next question : my daughter is upset with me because I gave her some rooted runners that i think is just a ground cover.[no berries where produced, just flowers} So, can they cross pollinate??? because she says they screwed up her other strawberry plants.
I really appreciate your helpful reply!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I bought the strawberry crowd, but they have not grown yet. It looks dry and dieing
Some things you can check Raymond....
Check soil moisture - make sure it's not dry.
Make sure the plant can get enough sunlight where it's at right now.
Prune away dead parts of crown/plant as they are using up the plants' resources.
Ferilize and protect/check for pests.
Let's start there and see if this helps! Go for it and let us all know - the plants need those basic things to be strong! CaliKim
nice video
Glad you enjoyed it, Bruse. Are you growing strawberries in your garden? Thanks for watching!
My ine strawberry plant died and we have summer now/. Do you have any ways that I can revive the plant?
I added bone meal and some banana fermneted water
If your strawberry plant has dried out but still has some green in the stems or roots, there’s a chance you can revive it. Here are some gentle revival tips that may help:
Start by gently checking the roots. If they’re brown and brittle, the plant may not be salvageable, but if you see any pale, flexible roots, there’s hope. Trim away any dead or completely dried leaves, runners, or roots to focus the plant’s energy on recovery.
Since you’ve already added bone meal and banana water, the plant has received some nutrients. Be cautious with fertilizers for now, as too much can overwhelm a weakened plant. Instead, give it a thorough watering and make sure the soil stays moist (but not soggy) for the next few days.
Place the plant in a spot with indirect sunlight or partial shade, as direct summer sun may stress it further. Gradually move it to brighter light as it begins to recover. Watch for new growth at the crown (the part where the leaves and roots meet), which is a good sign that it’s bouncing back.
If the plant doesn’t show improvement in a couple of weeks, you might try rooting some fresh strawberry runners, if available, to start new plants for the summer. LMK!!! CK
Does the “Slugo” kill earth worms?

Calling CaliKim..I need tips on when to pick fully ripe strawberries for maximum flavor. Some folks say pick on a sunny day, others say early in the morning. I've read don't water for 2-3 days prior to picking otherwise the flavor will be diluted. Some say store them in the fridge to keep longer while others say no keep them on the counter and that each method of storage can affect the sweetness. Confer with birthday boy Mac on what this strawberry rookie should do--thanks!
Fred, I talked to Mac, he says:
I can't speak to all of those examples given but I can say the following:
-Look for fully red berries. Strawberries do not ripen further after picking, so choose berries that are uniformly red with no green or white tips.
the berries should be firm and plump, not soft or mushy.
-Ideally, pick strawberries in the morning when they are cool and have had a chance to plump up with moisture overnight.
-If the plants or berries are wet from rain or irrigation, allow them to dry before picking to prevent diluting the flavor.
Mac & Kim
Happy birthday Max

When I purchased my first plant, the pot was labeled “ever bearing” but I only ever see fruit in June. What’s wrong?
That's odd. I wonder if it was truly mislabeled?
Everbearing plants typically produce two main crops: one in early summer and another in late summer to fall, with some fruiting sporadically throughout the season.
Since confirming the plant type maybe more work than it's worth at this point (that's your decision to make) perhaps scrap it and start over? Sorry about this, Chrissy - CaliKim
I have noticed something else about strawberries is the more that they are waters with county that they don't have any flavor. I would like to know if any other people noticed it?

My last years runner plants did not come back this year
So sorry to hear! UGH. We keep on, right...
I need to continuously trim the leaves on my strawberry plants...the leaves get huge, and too crowded. Is this ok, to trim the leaves back? Such big problems with aphids this year, a huge infestation on all plants.
Yes, it's perfectly fine to trim the leaves on your strawberry plants, especially if they're becoming overcrowded or if the leaves are getting too large. Doing so will help the following: better air circulation, allowing more light to come in, so more resources go to the plant. Win-Win!
Aphids, UGH. Been there done that. What I would do in your case is quickly apply Monterey's Take Down - an organic insecticide that contains natural pyrethrins derived from chrysanthemum flowers.Take Down contains pyrethrins, which have a QUICK knockdown effect on aphids and other soft-bodied insects.
Take Down RTU *ready to use, which means you don't have to mix with water, ,etc. It's ready to be used out of the bottle, is approved for organic gardening and is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI).
And, it's Safe for Beneficial Insects - ladybugs, lacewings, and bees.
