I'm well under way of propagating enough Seascape Strawberry plants to replace those that were killed off in my mother's garden. I am hoping to replace all of them by mid October. Fore now, my Seascapes are still flowering and fruiting.

All my strawberries died over the summer. Way too hot in zone 9. I don't have the patience to start over. Used a tower and they were doing so well. Lots of berries in early June...

Which water soluble fertilizer are you using on your strawberry plants? I have a strawberry plant that needs dividing but no runners. They make nice gifts too. I made some with white Stock flowers that smell amazing and are also edible.
great idea for the plastic bag. Once they have rooted, do I cut them off the mother plant?? because I'd like to plant some in another area of my garden. Thanks for another informative video!!
Yea cut them from the mother plant when roots look good.

Hi, Gary. Thank you for the video. Using a bag for catching runners are new to me. I am growing strawberry plants in UK. My strawberry plants, which I started to grow from spring last year, have had 3 or 4 crowns each in a container and they look so crowded. I am just wondering I should divide them and transplant to new planters. My question is when the best month to do so is. Is it too late to divide plants in early September or I should do in February or March? In springtime, strawberry plants will start to set flowers. I don't want to upset them because it might affect harvesting of strawberry fruit in June. I would appreciate your advice.
I tried overwintering strawberry plants in my green stalk last winter and most of them didn't survive. I live in NE Indiana, and I'm borderline zone 6a and 6b. Should I plant them in my garden for the winter, then replant in the green stalks in the spring? Thanks
I'm not an expert so I might be traumatizing my plants and there might be a better way. I have no extra space to plant stawverries over winter so I took an old Rubbermaid type container, filled it with dirt and fallen leaves. Took the strawberries out of the greenstalk and placed them loosely packed together in the Rubbermaid container. Put dirt and leaves in between them loosely packed. Then put some Fallen leaves on top but still allowed the strawberry leaves to poke out. I reasoned that the decomposing leaves from trees might provide some heat? I left them outside all winter (-13 celcius) and they survived. They were mostly uncovered but when temperature dropped below 0 degrees Celsius I put a clear plastic covering on them. I clipped on a clear greenhouse plastic over the top....but I think a clear Rubbermaid lid might work even better. Another idea might be to make little "green houses" out of milk jugs backed with leaves and dirt. There are videos online that show you how to split the jugs and keep the top to protect the strawberries. Made sure the plants were watered if they needed it Our area doesn't get a lot of snow, so I wondered if that migh naturally provide a layer of insulation so you might not even need to cover the plants with anything in that case. My procedure worked and I didn't loose any plants. Next year I picked them back out of the container and stuck them back in the greenstalk. I've done well this year for strawberries so I don't think they were stressed by the process.
What do you use to keep the critters from eating the strawberries? I tried BT, DE and Cpt Jacks's spinosad. Nothing worked. I don't know if its snails, slugs or rolly pollies. I never see them eating. Thanks.
Great tip using the plastic bags to propogate. I have trouble stopping those tower gardens from drying out in the hot summer. Here in Melbourne, we can sometimes hit 110F plus but not for prolonged periods. Do you think adding say 20% vermiculite would help?
Peat moss works best for that but if thats not available vermiculite.

I'm a couple of hours away from you in Victoria. I soak some coir blocks in water and add to the potting mix and fill my Vertigrow towers with that. They are in the hottest part of my yard on scorching hot concrete and they are doing well.
I have a bunch of runners some with 4 or five on each one. Can I put them in a larger seed starting cell tray and get them to root. Keep them inside to over winter. I'm in S/W Pa. Near Pittsburgh
They need to root awhile attached to mother plant or they tend to dry out. You can cut them and put them in a shallow cup of water. But I do recommend getting roots first. After that the tray is fine indoors.

Hi Gary! I have everbearing strawberries that were so sweet in the begining and are still growing very well with nice large fruit but they are not very sweet anymore. Do you have any suggestions as to why that is? Thank you!

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I was in western Oregon one time and bought several types of berries at a farmer’s market. They looked wonderful, but were very bland and watery. I believe it was because of the weather they have there, rainy and mild. I live in southwestern Idaho, a high desert. Our weather is hot and dry. My strawberries are intensely flavored and sweet. Yes, strawberries need to be kept moist, but too much water makes them bland, in my opinion.
