#strawberries #strawberry #gardening
Dude, seriously, your videos are totally on point! Thank you for the time and effort on everything that it takes to; move cameras, the gardening, the work to grow stuff, and the editing of this video! Good stuffs man!
Thanks so much Shawn!! I try to get them out as early as possible so that they are relevant to what's currently going on...but its hard sometimes too as some areas get their fall and winter so much earlier than me!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms hey at least we have it for reference for the following spring. That is why I am watching it now.
I want to congratulate you on this video. I have been following you for some time, and you have taken it to a next level with this one. The production was smooth and the script was very well thought out. In my humble opinion, this video is as close to being a definitive guide as you could hope for! The only thing I found wanting was to see the lifecycle of the plant going through its stages in situ after planting, but that is perhaps unreasonable considering the timing, and by no means takes away from the video. :) Thank you for your work. I think this is only the second comment I left in the 10 years I've been on the platform. Cheers
Jeff, you are a great teacher
Excellent teaching video! It answered a lot of questions. Thank you!
Unexpectedly picked up a tray of strawberry seedlings at the nursery. This is helpful to get started with my first strawberry crop
Hey right on! When's your first frost? Gonna try and get them into the ground before winter?
Bonemeal is great for growing strawbs. When I used it mine went from about 6/10 flavour and not much use for anything except jam, to more like 8/10 flavour and good enough to eat on their own without even needing sugar.
Hey, that's a great tip!
Yes, I added bonemeal to the hole before planting
@@angelamuhammad2982 Did you find it made a difference, or have you not harvested yet?
@doublehapiness9889, bonemeal? As in animal bones! That is absolutely disgusting, there is no way I would do such thing of putting animal bones on my strawberries or anything else nope, there are other ways that are organic goodness and who knows how those poor animals died and if it was in a humane way....
And this here is why we have poachers killing elephants because "people" want & buy junk. I'm sorry but no thanks!
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
I look forward to planting strawberries in the spring!
Right on Linda, best of luck!
New to your channel, I am a new gardener , your videos are very informative and I greatly appreciate the content. Thank you !
A complete and informative video 👍👍🙏

I really like your watering can, but the USA Amazon link for the watering can is a broken link. Is there another link for one? Thanks!
@@VaultDwellerGal oh shoot, I'll check that out Vanessa
@@VaultDwellerGal I like this one Vanessa: amzn.to/3EqfhVK
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks!!
@@VaultDwellerGal No prob! 🙂
Hi Jeff. I'm going to give this a whirl. Even with my not so green thumb. Take care God bless
Thanks for sharing this is the first time I will plant strawberries.Great information .
What an amazing, informative video! Thanks so much! I love it!
Thanks Shelly, appreciate it!!
Great info once again. Thank you.
Thanks H, and thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial!
Thanks Lori!
Anytime is the right time
Thanks for the information. Have followed it this Spring and am harvesting large sweet berries and propagating more plants along the way.
Hey that's great to hear! Hopefully next year is just as good!
Great vid dude!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Great and much needed video I need to repot my strawberries have them too close too shallow soil. Thank you.
Great stuff.
Thanks Denis! 🙂
You are getting me prepped to try strawberries again. Any suggestions for the seedling starts? I always love your wooden raised beds. Do you make them yourself?
Thanks Vicky! Yes I make my own planters.. Really easy to make and much cheaper! I did a video on how to make them a couple years ago. I'll try to find the link
Thank you💓🙏
Cheers! 🙂
Beautiful!
Thanks Rosa!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms you're welcome
@@Rosa.UA-cam :-)
I started some strawberries from seed a few years ago. If those weren't the cutest tiny little
plants! We had a few light frosts recently but I still have strawberry blossoms!
My biggest problem is fighting some kind of bees when I try to pick the everbearing fruit. Sometimes the bees win.
Ha ha wait, the bees are EATING the fruit?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I don't know if it's the bees that are eating the strawberries, there are bites/holes in most berries.
But there are so many bees swarming around the plants it's hard to pick them. I love pollinators and all, but yikes!
I thought maybe they are attracted to the sweet, like when they try to get into your soda can? 🤷♀️
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms couldn't the small holes be from slugs?
@@shirleyk623 They probably are, I'm seeing a lot of slugs as I'm cleaning up the garden for winter. Thanks!
@@Nancy-zk9dj I used food grade diatomaceous earth after I saw a slug hanging on a green beans that was closed to the ground. I got rid of them. Except for a few rainy wet days, then there was quite a few. Soapy water works well also. I really don't like them 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
nice video. thank you. two questions for you. when/how do you plant bare root strawberries? also: where do you get your fine straw mulch. it looks so nice. Thank you so much.
What’s liquid fertilizer do you recommend, or use?
Thank you Awesome video!
wow
:-)
I’ve grown strawberries for the past 6 years. Last year I had my best yield ever 5 gallons. The plants were very healthy in the fall. I decided to do a fall clean up and cut back a significant amount of the dying foliage. This spring came and 80-90 percent of the plants didn’t come back. No harvest this year, I was gutted. I attribute this to my actions last fall, but I did notice this spring many of the plants were pushed out of the ground by frost. This may have also attributed to the death of my plants. What are your thoughts on fall maintenance and methods to prevent freeze thaw problems?
I really love the way you make a content about strawberry plant ..
Thanks Yhang! :-)
This year was the 2nd time I tried unsuccessfully to grow strawberries from bare root. I think I'll try with a potted one next year. What type of straw do you use? And thanks for sharing
I got Marshall and Holiday strawberry plants to put into the ground or containers this spring. I hope they survive here in Vancouver, WA. I do not know where to get a mulch though.
Yes! I need to seperate my strawberry plants! They are very squashed together..
Yeah, they tend to do that on their own too Melanie! :-)
Do you have a guide on bare roots?
I hope you are around now. I don’t know how old your videos are but I have a question I was thinking about putting my strawberries in a container similar to you, but along side, my garage, but the eve would put lots of water in there when they’re not needed to have water that’s if it rains I don’t have a gutter, so will that be a no-no to put it there? They would get sun from early morning all the way up to almost 5 o’clock.
Thank you for sharing this video. I love strawberries and was given a few bare rooted ones. I'm growing them in pots and was really concerned at first as there were no flowers. However, I now have a really bushy leafy crop and finally some unripe small strawberries. May I ask, should I be removing some of the leaves? I feel as though the strawberries are getting buried and hidden underneath all these leaves and not getting the sun they should be getting :( Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Hey Bianca, usually the foliage is left intact. The runners though....those long stem-projections....remove those for sure. The berries themselves will poke through the leaves. However, if you're getting too many leaves, likely its a fertilizer imbalance. (ie too much Nitrogen)...
Love all your videos, just purchased some strawberry plants here in Washago On. It's the end of June but as you stated in your video I can still plant them now. I do have a few questions. Based on the 5 year life cycle do I have to buy new plants to repeat my harvest or do I use the babies from the mother plant? Can I use shredded fall leaves instead of straw? Should I remove the flowers with this being the end of June and over 3 months away from my first frost? I am doing the container method since all my gardens are full. With that in mind, am I ok to plant one plant in a 5 gallon pot to give it lots of room? Thank you in advance for your response.
I'm so sorry about all the questions I posted 😆 I didn't realize you had so many videos on strawberries. So I think I have most of my answers answers. Again, i just love ❤️ all your informative info.
Thanks for the info. I have strawberries growing in a pot. It's on its second year. I think I should split and create more plants. Is that a good idea? It's still bearing fruit. (1st timer)
Cheers Melanie, thanks for watching. For strawberries, they are usually split up and replanted in year 5.....not year 2
Thank you!
I have a biology project where I need to test how that a how fast a fruit seed will germinate inside vs outside the fruit. Do you know of any fruit seeds that will start germinating in about 3-4 weeks I dont need it to be turn to a tree or anything just want a seed to sprout within that time
I bought bare roots, for the first time, this year. About 90% are green and growing, but the rest are now brown and dry. Any chance those will show back up next Spring? Or should I remove them now? Thank you for the video, as always! ~Kelly
Hey K, usually they should start growing right away in the first two weeks. If nothing came up and the weather was decent, chances are they are done and won't ever come up.
Thank you for the instructions ! what do you do to avoid birds eat your strawberries?
Thanks Raz! For birds, the only way is either netting and a cat/dog...
Hanging pots? That is what I'll be trying next season
Good day mate.
How big is your farm.
It must be pretty big if you have
300 strawberry 🍓 to plant .
Love ❤ watching 👀 you.
Hey Tim, thanks man! I only garden on a 1/3 of an acre.....but its raised beds EVERYWHERE. Not to mention 5, 7, and 10 gallon fabric pots up the wazoo, LOL! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms
Thanks mate 👍.
Keep up with the awesome 👌 work you do.
Ps You must eat 😋 a lot of strawberry 🍓
By the way, a previous year I put some store bought strawberries into my planters directly into compost, no added garden soil, and the berries tasted like salt. Any idea why the compost made everything even peas taste salty?
Hey dude! I have alot of chard and other greens in the garden still, is there a way I can preserve them for the winter months to come? 🙂
Chard and lettuce and spinaches and many greens freeze very well. Not so good raw when thawed out, but excellent for stir fries and even steamed!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Ok Thanks! 🙂
@@socloseagain4298 cheers!
I need to know about removing them from containers to the ground.
Like replanting small starter pots?
How do your container plants survive a hard winter?
how long does it take from the first day of u putting in the seed to growing ripe strawberries ?
Well, strawberries are rarely grown from seed. They are usually grown from crown divisions or runner-starts. As the plant sets its fruit in the fall for the FOLLOWING year, a strawberry seed planted in the spring in March will likely only give berries the next summer.....14-16 months later. A well-started crown division could produce berries the same year it was planted.
I'm rethinking my strawberry growing. I can't plant the young plants in their final spot. Should I overwinter them in 9*9cm or 15*15cm pots?
Larger the pot the better for overwintering Vera.
Hello guys i hopes somebody could answer my question does runner have the same age as the mother(since it have cloned itself) or does they have there own age starting there first year
I'm in Arizona and having a hard time finding any strawberry starts to buy at home depot etc...
Normally they will come available in February and March in your area. Local growers may also offer them up for sale as they re-do their patches.
I have planted multiple bare roots in a bed using super soil from local garden center...nothing happened...watered well...drains good...THEN got some well established plants from a good friend and transplanted....they are looking like they are on their way to dying....what am I doing wrong?
How is the sun situation? What's your climate? What time of year? Soil pH?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 6 hours full sun 2-3 hours indirect...Arkansas Zone 7b-8a...planted bare roots in mid fall then again in early spring...haven't check soil pH. REALLY hoping to get some help. I followed your Roma tomato video and mine turned out fabulous as well !! Help for Strawberries...send the Emergency Crew please - LOL
All my attempts at strawberries achieves huge beautiful plants with no or few berries. What am I doing wrong?
Fertilizer most likely. Too much nitrogen and not enough phosphorus.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks for the response. I gave them 10-10-10 so in the future I will use p and k and no n.
Minta bibitnya mr
"In for a pence, in for a pound"
Heh heh..! :-)
Wait
Its fall??
I learned a new way on the runners
Put them in the ground for 2 weeks
2:03 what about summer breeze Rose
Ha ha doesn't feel like it....but its coming!
@@liamgrows Totally...that's the easiest method for them. Love how fast they root!
