Every basic skill, technique, tip, trick, you name it, its all here.

You are better than my biology teacher😂😂😂
Seriously i really like your videos keep it up
Thanks!!
I am a first year gardener this year...I've been teaching myself gardening, canning, freeze-drying, dehydrating...basically, overall self-reliance this past 5 years. I follow a lot of canning/gardening/homestead channels and I enjoy them all...but for real, when it comes to teaching...you are second to none! Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us. Your approach to teaching, breaking down the how's and why's is just wonderful. I never leave your videos with questions because you thoroughly cover everything. And for those of us without a lot of extra time to spend in front of a screen, you are as straight to the point as possible. Seriously, second to none. ~Kelly
That's so amazing of you to say, thank you! I love that you recognize the "straight to the point" approach because its something I'm really striving for Kelly. I get the entertainment value of a lot of other channels, and more power to them. I just want to pass on what knowledge I've accrued without all that other stuff. I won't get as many views because of it, but if I can create a library full of everything I've learned and will learn, that means a lot more in my opinion. Cheers! 🙂
Good for you, teaching yourself these skills! I have done the same thing for quite awhile now. Another awesome gardening channel in Roots and Refuge - Jess is amazing, encouraging, and her smile is infectious. 😀
Freeze Drying u say ... hope its with a real freeze dryer not some wack backyard whodo
This video was SO well made. One of the most informative videos on growing strawberries out there.
Hey thanks, appreciate that!
I second that!!’
Being super green in strawberry growing (just bought 2 varieties) I have learned the most out of this video and NEED more :D
Being an experienced grower hydroponically, i have cleaned rinced and sterilized my two pheno here! Hehe
I have two controlled environments currently set for vegetative growth and flowering.
I understand that im at different stage and may have multiple issues from this video.
Do you have any deeper dives videos about day-nutral and ever-bearing?
given my two grow environment I would like to be able to juste eat strawberries all the time when spending time in the gardens 😍
Can you give me any pointers?
Great job on the editing and scripts.
Thank you
I totally agree! We have not had rain here in Florida, since December 2022, and 3 days ago, the skies opened up and we got 2.5 inches in 1 hour. Believe it or not, that much rain on sand, is not good. Dry sand is quite oily? Weird right? I think about 5-7 of my Strawbabies drowned. Maybe not, but they sure look dead to me. Anything I can do?
Thank you! I think I was underwatering/feeding and burying the crowns.. no wonder. better luck this year :)
You can always give away or sell runners to friends & neighbors. They make a great gift. Children love picking strawberries.
Most definitely!! Saves your friends and family money too!
Another good way to propagate strawberry get a kiddie pool around 36 -48"inch make some 1/4" drain holes then locate a sunny spot fill with soil and make a mound in the middle plant 3-4 plants and watch tons of runners and will root on their own you can separate and plant as needed ✌️😁
Just helping not trying to be anything else! This is a good informative video!👍
Love the kiddy pools.
Yeah Ive heard those kiddie pools make great above ground garden beds.
Im actually going to attempt to grow strawberries in my closet in my big octopot self watering system under a strong full specrum grow light. I cant find anyone who has attempted strawberries this way even those who suggest not to grow inside haven’t even attempted it, so I’m gonna go for it being that it gets so much hotter each year then the last that all my outdoor plants tend to burn up before they can really do anything , and also because at this house and the house I lived in before I had started off the growing season, growing my own veggies, tomatoes , melons and such, only for them to get destroyed after all my work by insects like aphids or other crop my homework, killing insects. I figured the best way to avoid those pesty insects ruining all my hard work anymore is by growing my plants inside where they’re safe!
No matter what you do. The bluejays will find them. 😊
@@robyntaurusbeatz703update?
I’ve recently discovered this channel and just love it! Jeff, you are a gem, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ve already started using your catchphrases when I’m out in the garden lol!!
this made a hard day a little better, thank you.
Cheers Sean, thanks for watching man, hope things get better!
🙏 that you stay strong and keep "chin up".
You provide the best information. I purchased 80 bare root starters. A combination of ever bearing and June bearing. After watching a previous video on strawberries you provided…I took the plunge. Guess what I’ve had fresh strawberries every day this week. I’m so excited. Now if I could be successful with my tomato starts… not giving up. Thank you so much.
OMG Penny....80 starts?? EPIC! You'll be swimming in berries soon enough! :-)
Where did you get the plants? I had a really hard time finding any in Iowa
Jeff, watching your video is better than reading a hardback book for planting. And much quicker! I’m taking this book back to the library
Thanks so much buddy! I try to pack it all in...although as soon as I hit the "finish" button, there's always new stuff I wish I had put in, LOL!
Best strawberry video ever. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I grow alpine and musk strawberries from seed quite often. They are an exception to your hybrid rule. They also can bear fruit the first year of you start them mid January the plants will be healthy enough by spring to produce before. My hawaii white strawberries were actually producing fruit in the pots I started them in. I will however note, unless you just want to claim you grow strange strawberries, just buy your plants. It's far less painful.
Right on Ronald! 🙂
Wow, where do you get you seeds for alpine & Musk varieties? Thanks, definitely something to try
@@kathleenmccarthy4510 The Strawberry Store sells oddity seeds. Rain tree Nursery sells established plants.
Thanks
I buy organic strawberries from the market. Any strawberries that become soft before eating, I throw in a pot. That is how I started my strawberry crop and have shared with others. I do not know what variety they are but have been successful with this method for years.
Another tip is to cover strawberries in the winter with pine needles. It protects them in cold temperatures and keeps the ph where it should be.
Cheers, I have heaps of them.
And pine needles deter ants in your planters.
Thank you.My grandfather was a strawberry farmer I think I will start now too.
That's what I like to hear sharon! 🙂
Phenomenal video! Thank you for being succinct yet thorough.
This has to be the most informative video on strawberries I’ve watched.
That was really a well produced and informative video.
Cheers!
ive just planted a whole rasied bed of strawberries 🍓 i love them so much i wan t have have loads and loads!
Your beloved strawberry plant looked so gorgeous! I hope I will grow mine like yours soon learning from you! ThankYou!
I absolutely love the info in this! So wonderful!

I Started growing my own container strawberries ever since I watched your video a couple years ago🍓🍓. Thank you for your videos as always.
Awesome!! How are they going for you?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms great. I even lay straws on top of the soil so the strawberries are not laying on the dirt. Brilliant idea👌
@@houseplants1684 Straw really does make a difference! :-)
Loved the detailed video and just when I was going to back and review - I LOVED the summary - Perfect!
Thanks for sharing all the tips and preparing for strawberry 🍓 I have learned alot let us keep planting my friend 😊
VERY well put together topic. Thank you for the detailed information on how to grow 🍓 and the different types of 🍓.
Awesome presentation Thank you 😊
Best video on strawberries!
Thank you Jeff. I’ve had no luck with strawberries in Queensland Australia, but I’m gonna follow your guidelines Thank you for your video.
Excellent and thorough video, thank you!
Thank you for this video!! I am learning so much.
Excellent job. Thank you for the info.
This was a great detailed informative video. Thanks!
Nice video. Beautiful looking strawbs. I'm strictly a container grower for everything due to a small backyard and woods behind the house. Too many animals that would (and some do) raid my bounty. Deer, raccoons, #!@$ groundhog, chipmunks, squirrels, possum, turkeys, fox, coyotes and fishers. I pack my planters with strawberry plants. I use everbearing plants, use composted manure every spring and lots of fert during the growing season. If the plants slow down they get replaced and a chance at a 2nd life in an open spot not too far into the woods.
Very smart Morrocco, that's exactly what I would do! Best of bounty this year! 🙂
How do you protect the plants from all of the animals?
@@babs3483 I have a wooden staircase in the back that goes to a door on the 2nd level. It has a platform at the top and shelves along the stairs. My biggest headache are chipmunks and an occasional possum that can climb up the frame of the stairs (stairs are blocked). All the containers sit on the shelves or on the platform.
Excellent presentation! I'm going to grow some strawberries now🍓🍓🍓
Great. thank you again for your detailed video .
Excellent video. Enjoy the humble way you explain your methods with a mellow demeanor. Some inform with a ego attached; The Tube got to their heads... Appreciate you sharing your expertise.
Great outcome
Thanks again. This is the first time I've grown strawberries. Your videos have inspired me, so I will try to do all I've learnt from you. Hope your weather is good. Here in South East UK it's weather for ducks as they say. Take care, Maggie
Awesome video with great instructions!! Thank you!
Cheers, thanks for watching!
the camera angle makes you look like a cute happy plant yourself everytime!
I AM a happy plant! Lol.
Best video I've seen on strawberries and planting..thanks .I'm from Spanish ontario ..near Sudbury..
Thank you
Great info! We are planting strawberries for the first time this spring, we have them on order and should be here the 1st week of April. Thank you for the video!!
I've got plants on the way that should arrive, hopefully early next week! That 'S' on your cap is for STRAWBERRIES!
Right on Kevin! Let us know how it goes!! 🙂

Hey Amber, thanks for the kind words and for watching! :-)
I grew some from seed to get the double pink bloosom kind. I started them in December in my cool winter greenhouse and they actually fruited that summer. So if you have a cool winter greenhouse this can be a great way to grow strawberries.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply!
Cheers Suzana! :-)
You are a wonderful teacher…!
Thank you!
Thanks so much! :-)
It is alot of information but i appreciate the step process and facts. As a beginner i cant wait grow my 1st strawberry plant

Perfect timing!! 🙂
I grow quite a few varieties in zone 5 with a matted grid system, basically oversized matted rows. Have harvested 1.5 gallons in the last 3 days as the first variety is ready. The Sequoia is one sweet berry. Planted Mara Du Bois the first time this spring, patiently awaiting to try them.
Invaluable information.

Nailed it! Thank you!
Thanks Mom! :-)
I would suggest that applying a top dressing of good, finished compost would take the place of bought concentrated NPK. just move the mulch aside, add a half inch of compost, water and replace the mulch. Pine needles hold up well as a strawberry mulch if you have them nearby. Thanks for all the valuable tips.
Nothing beats good compost Ken.... Nothing! :-)
I had the same reaction when the NPK came out. That was the only time I questioned, though.
I was always told the pine needles are a heavy asudduk producer when breaking down over a. Of time composting. I don't understand strawberries LOL you have to guess have the perfect soil because I'm not having any luck getting any of my seeds to start, and plants are just too damn expensive right now.
That side note was very informative and very good advice!!! Nothing beats compost and worm castings!!!
@@r.a.w.r.news.t.v.2 Pine needles work for strawberries. The PH probably isn't that important in this case as the pine needles are processed by animalcule before they get to the strawberry's roots.
thank you so much i have struggled BAD - now i see what i did wrong
Best of luck turning it around this season!
Great Video. Starting my first Strawberry crop this year.
Thanks, best of luck Will!
Thank you! That could be the best educational garden video I have ever seen. You nailed it all, and with such a nice demeaner or style. A+ !!!!! The videography was excellent also. I love the close ups for my old eyes. I bought bare root strawberries the othe day and will plant them soon, so now I know what to do. I have never even been able to get fruit from strawberry plants, but then I didn't feed them either. Thanks again!

I gotta try those Brett!
@@shervin6711 Where from sher?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Amazon, Hand Picked Farms. There are so many varieties out there, but really lousy descriptions! Example: comparing an Ozark, to seascape, to many others.. clearly they might be different..but no one shows you WHAT those differences are.
