- 1/9/2022 Winterizing a strawberry patch. Weeding and pruning strawberry plants
For $10 in 2020 my brother bought a hanging strawberry basket around Mother’s Day. He planted in his raised cinder block garden bed. When we rebuilt the raised cinder block bed, he moved them into a 4’ x 3’ x 12” high raised garden bed. It’s almost been a full year in this bed and the runners and grass are taking over.
First we weeded the garden bed removing as much grass as we could. Next we removed some runners from inside and outside of the bed. Then we pruned the dead leaves off the strawberry plants and finally we mulched with some leaves.

Strawberries are one of the most amazing plants and easy to propagate. Great job winterizing them.
Yes, strawberries are a great plant. Buy one and within a few seasons you have a strawberry patch.
Awesome video man 😎
Thank you! 😁 🍓
Awesome root growth!
Thanks, this strawberry bed is doing very well.
Got to love Tucker! ❤️🐶
Crazy dog, he’s like what’s going on over here. 😁
Greetings from New Hampshire! 👍 We are definitely gonna have our hands full with our strawberries this season. We are kicking ourselves that we planted them in with our Asparagus. We had so much on our plate that we just kinda let them go. What a mess! LOL Keep up the good work!
Nice to meet you. I planted out asparagus, strawberries, and horseradish last season but I did them all in their own areas. You will be able to get them under control. 😁
@@GardeningwithBarchuckin Thanks. When we first planted them, it was really just meant for personal use. We’ve expanded since then and now sell at local farmers markets so we will most likely have to move them to a new area. A lot of extra work that could have been avoided… but… live and learn I guess. LOL 👍
@@CelticRootsFarm gardening/farming is all about learning. Now you know how they grow so when you move them they should do well. Congrats with selling at your farmers market.
hasn't Bermuda grass heard of the Bermuda Triangle...haha sorry...great tutorial video
Bermuda grass (warm season grass) only grows from late spring to early fall and it spreads with rhizomes and stolons. This is why it spreads some quickly and it’s quite a pain in the garden area. Stolons are like a runner from a strawberry plant(on top of the ground). Rhizome is a creeping rootstock under the ground that creates buds that pop up through the soil similar to a raspberry plant sending up new canes (spread under the ground). You may not have it over there, but if you see brown lawns during the winter there is an excellent chance it’s a warm season grass.
Good explanation my friend. Problem is, we don't do "winter" down here. I started some strawberries from seeds I scraped off a GROWcery store berry and they're doing well in a tower on my front porch.
Haha, then you need to keep up on your maintenance of the tower. I guess your strawberries slow down when it’s really hot out. I messed around and started some seeds this year and fungus gnats took them over 😅
What are you pulling up with your hands?? I'm never that rough with my plants.
@@CorpseBride64 thanks for asking. It’s Bermuda grass it is an aggressive growing grass that spreads stolons and rhizomes (runners on top of the ground and roots in the ground).
@@GardeningwithBarchuckin ahhh, thank you. why is it in the box, can you help me understand?
@@CorpseBride64 I joking call it devil grass. It spreads everywhere and the garden bed has better nutrients than the lawn. So once a little piece crawls in on top of the soil or root goes underneath and gets in, it pops up everywhere. It can grow over sidewalks and driveways. If you live in a cooler climate, in the winter if you see brown lawns it’s either Bermuda or Zoysia grass. And if you live next to someone that has it, eventually it will come into your yard.
@@GardeningwithBarchuckin I see. Thank you for explaining it so well! Now I understand why you were tugging it out of there. LoL
Are strawberries perennial?
Yes sir, typically the mother plant produces for 5-6 years before it needs to be replaced.
Bermuda grass sucks! I agree.
i'm better off tilling mine out and replanting
I know that is an option. I’ve never tried that before. Good luck and if you do it let me know how it goes.
