We split ours up every two years by placing a solo cup with soil beside them. The runner crawl into the cup and then transplant. You have some good tips.
Great way to do it!
Dude, you crack me up! most excellent vid, thank you💗
Two turtle, THAT IS Genius, solo cups!😂💗
I am using the platic containers from cut fruit and other deli things
Runners will stop the production of strawberries. clip them off if you want more fruit.
I sent you a comment asking about how to winterize strawberries a few weeks back. I channeled you and Ron Finlay and made two CD racks into strawberry gutters. They're same shape but a little deeper. And put in a drip system. It so warm right now, I have strawberries already. Red ones. Crazy. But I started to pull flowers off and then felt bad and stopped. So good to hear you do the same. Thanks again.
I am just waiting for my strawberry root plants that I ordered to arrive. I'm berry excited (ugh!) at the prospect of having fresh berries in my yard.
They're sooo sweet homegrown.
Finally, an advantage to being in Zone 7b with snow on the way 😉 I just transferred all my strawberry plants to new raised beds with plenty of mulch...all 86 plants 😊 The 36 parent plants survived last winter. So, the expansion was needed. Loved the video and advice, as usual!!! ❤🍓
I will give it a try in the summer. My garden is under 2 feet of snow, my last frost date is June 5ish...
No joke, I just planted by new strawberries this week. Thank You Very Much!
You're welcome! Hope you get a great harvest.
@@NextLevelGardening thank you very mulch!! Lol
This was a very helpful guide. Nice tip about not putting soil on the crown of the strawberries.
We plant strawberries in the Fall here in Central Florida. They are treated like an annual here because the summers are hot and they would get diseases and die. Plus the berries would get smaller every year. Kinda opposite from up north. Great video. Thanks
Such good info! Thank you! I had everbearing strawberries in a hanging pot last summer. They didnt do well until I took the hanging pot down and watered it the way I watered everything else. Suddenly BOOM! Strawberries!! So in fall, I planted them and their runners (which Id rooted back in the pot while connected to the Mom plant) They were persistent and kept popping through the mulch!! I hope they come back in spring!! 🍓 Happy Sunday!! 🍓😊🌟
Brian, I have a few planters and a raised bed of strawbs, we have snow at the moment but the great thing is you made me think about them, I'm going to cut the dead leaves off and take a few weeds out tomorrow, perfect timing, thanks!
You're welcome!
Excellent info!
Thank you
I have grown scallions in rain gutter. Did not think of strawberries. Great idea. I wonder what else will be good in a rain gutter.
I wonder if there is anything else that can grow in the rain gutter. It was to shallow to anything. I have drip system this year Fingers crossed that my strawberries will make it.
Thank you, this was really helpful. I had no idea.
You're welcome
Thank you.
Perfect! I needed this--I'm going to try some of Proven Winners Buried Treasure strawberries in my porch window boxes.
Neptune Harvest fish and kelp or fruit and veg. Uncover crown then general all purpose fertilizer or with a high middle number.
Heck yeah! Just opened up the tube to look this exact info up and here your wonderful self is! First thing i see! Thank you!
Did it just for you!😉
You are so helpful and pleasant to listen to. Thanks!🌱
Thank you 🙂
Great info! So looking forward to growing container strawberries this year!!
Good luck 👍
Snowed here in texas in mid february 🙃🤠🙃
very fresh Strawberries , still waiting for your next video for the led grow light.
Thanks so much.
You're welcome
Will you also be posting your videos to Rumble soon? The Rusted Garden has added this platform - hoping you will too! Thank you for all you do - totally enjoy your videos and putting them to use in my garden.
Thank you so much for this video. In Canada here and yeah the new plants are starting to pop up. So now I know what to do!!
This is the first year. I planted them last year
Question. Now that it's second year..do I cut off the daughter plants so the momma gets bigger
Well this was so interesting! I’m planning on growing strawberries for the first time this year so great to learn what to do!! Thank you 😊
Thank you! Great tips! Have some seeds I need to get started!
Great video as always. I gave away all my strawberry plants last year (sat them by the road and marked “free” and they were snatched up). I just couldn’t stop the squirrels from feasting on them constantly.
As you always do, you have inspired me. I may try again and build a frame and use rain gutters. Maybe I could somehow make that less accessible to the buggers. Thanks as always. ❤️
Yes maybe if the rain gutters were out away from trees and fences and you put a baffle on the legs they might just stay safe.
Wow, I did not think about those pesky creeters. I'll have to do something on mine before they get curious. I have them in containers.
@@mariafolch8067 I had mine in containers on my back deck last year and the squirrels would come up pick the strawberries and climb up on my patio chair cushions and stand on the back cushion, eat the strawberries and dribble strawberry juice all over the cushions and leave the strawberry bits. It was a mess and then no strawberries for me to eat. So I gave up. Hopefully Brian’s suggestions and rain gutter will help because I love strawberries 😉
@@NextLevelGardening I have had to put baffles on all of my birdfeeders because the squirrels will empty them in an afternoon so that’s a great suggestion. Thanks stay well and safe❤️
You too❤
It is the 8th of Apr, I just bought a Strawberry plant that is pretty well established and I have two questions; 1). It has one red flower on it (I posted the same question with pictures on your Fb page if you'd like to go look at it for reference) & I'm wondering if I need or should pull the flower off (Google says to pull all flowers off until June, and I want to make sure that is correct, because Google is not always correct in every situation).
Plus, last night I seen a "black bug" quickly crawl away from the flower (it had a lot of gooey looking stuff coming out of the flower, and when I tried to locate the bug - I had no luck so, I brought the plant outside, because I didn't want to chance it (or any other bugs) getting to my other baby plants I have growing inside.
2). So, can I spray the Strawberry plant with Neem oil, because of the store I bought it from (big box store that starts with a big "W") I've purchased flower plants from them last year that came with aphids (that was my first time learning about those bugs, the hard way!) so, now I just want to know if I can safely spray any & all plants with Neem oil?
I'm sorry for sounding dumb, I'm just new.
Thank you for your time! 🌿❤️
I live in cold climate. I have grown June bearing strawberries in the past. I was told that every three years, the older plants should be taken out and new plants, from runners, planted. Somehow I lost track of rotation and my patch became a mess. Most of my plants died. I’m thinking next summer I’d like to start over with ever bearing strawberries. Does the same principle apply that about every 3 years, the older plants need to be replaced by younger plants? I’m thinking of using one of my raised beds. I have a chipmunk problem. The rat traps worked well for the tomatoes last summer so I’m thinking of lining the raised bed with rat traps. I really enjoyed the video thank you.
❤
I notice you have your rain gutter planter under your eves. Which way is that wall of your house facing? I tried this method a few years back with minimal success but have had GREAT success with gourmet blend lettuce in them. Maybe time to try again this year!
Hi! I live in ga, I need to get my strawberries ready for the winter. We have our 1st 32 degree dip next week. I grew them in a laundry basket with holes. They did great. Do I pile hay the the top and all around my strawberries? Thanks. I watched your pepper video and I'm going to do that tomorrow.
Oh perfect, my container from last year is looking pretty junky so I was JW what to do w it! Sounds like a tomorrow project though, we've got rain all day! Hi from Cerritos area!
Perfect!
I live in zone 8 and we have been experiencing cold nights (30°). I put straw under the leaves; but, not over the plants. Should I have cover the whole plant?
Also, did you do a video of how you put together the rain gutter contraption?
Great demo and info.
If this is the coldest it gets they will probably be fine. But if you have a lot more Winter left you might want to cover the leaves also. I have a link in the description of the video to the video where I made the rain gutter
@@NextLevelGardening Thanks for the prompt reply. I just watched the previous video and have a question: do you drill the holes in the middle of the gutter or by the seam?
Just cleaned out my strawberry bucket. I thought it was a goner because I didn't water it. It's already producing fruit!!!
That’s pretty cool.
The drip system did it for you. We have rain.
I am looking for a video on growing cucumbers....have you made one for that? I have been searching all of your videos but haven't been able to spot one
No but on the list for this year.
@@NextLevelGardening wonderful... can’t wait to see it!
thanks so much for this video i live i n zone 6 i think i will try this
Great. Good luck!
My everbearing strawberries are in the ground and mulitply by rhizomes or shoots they send out. After 3 or more years my beds get so thick the berries are tiny. How do i identify old plants in the spring to thin out? Or should i just move the whole strawberry patch to a new location every 3 or so years? Thank you for all the help you give!
The mother plants grow by crowns. So even with diligent runner removal every year, a strawberry patch will begin to over grow and compete with itself. The whole thing needs to be dug up and replanted. You can plant them in the same spot, but you'll have to remove all the crowns and plant them singly. Its easy because they are really shallow rooted. Then, those new single crowns become the new mother plants that season. Space them upwards of 12-18 inches apart. They grow fast.
Thank you. I didn’t get strawberries last year.
What a great start in the New Year talking about strawberries! Thanks for an informative video and great tips! Brian, which variety would you recommend to grow here in Sunnyvale? I went to Home Depot yesterday and they only have Sequoia. I like to grow big and sweet berries. BTW, love the new name of your show. :)
How to make vertical strawberries plants? I would like they climb on the new trellis and avoid getting the fruits dirty. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this video 👍
You're welcome!
How do we protect them in the winter when they are in a barrel that we made pockets in? We're in a cooler climate.
You are so good at teaching. I love it! One day I am going to start a strawberry patch for my husband, but I am a little nervous about the amount of work that it takes in upkeep. Is it a lot of work in your opinion? I am not much of fruit lover with the exception of a few exotic fruits such as kiwi, but he loves berries and I'd much rather he snack on berries that junk food.
Think you! There actually no upkeep at all in the rain gutter. As long as there watered and fertilised every 2 weeks.
@@NextLevelGardening - That is so interesting. You know I don't have a whole lot more space for growing than you do and I think I have the perfect place for a setup like that. The area to the side of the door opposite the patio. Gets plenty of sun, but also some shade. Thoughts?
That would probably be great. Mine gets more shade than it should but still do great. More sun would probably mean more berries.
I live in New Hampshire, I did absolutely nothing to them. They are starting to green up and come back to life. That’s crazy! I thought I just had to regrow them every year
Thanks for this video!! Now I know I need to go buy mulch, any tips on how to do it cheaply?
Bales of straw are pretty cheap. $12 here and they cover ALOT of ground.
@@NextLevelGardening tractor supply store sells bales of straw. I found straw attracts rats and gophers and removed all the straw mulch.
Thank you!! I went and got 2 of them hopefully they would be enough!! 🙏🙏
How did your strawberries do in the hydroponic tower?
I live in TN where my strawberry plants stay green and don't die back in the winter. I want to transplant them, when is the best time to do this?
So... the rain gutters I have found are made out of aluminum.. Is it okay to plant in aluminum gutter??
Do you keep them in a shaded area or full Sun, part sun?
do you have to refresh and repot the soil every year?
I tried strawberry bare roots didn't do well I also bought from Walmart as plants those didn't do so well either 😂 I'm up to try again but gotta figure out my game plan I'm in northern central florida zone 9
it should rain all this week here in LA
Thank you for all your tips!!! What the heck do I do if I can’t get rid of ants in my raised containers?
You're welcome! I let you know if I can ever get rid of mine successfully lol
@@NextLevelGardening 😂😂😂
How do you fertilize your strawberries?
Thanks I needed to learn all this. I planned strawberry plants last year.. I also planted asparagus last year, any suggestions for them ? They did awesome growth last year.
You're welcome. Never grown asparagus. Hopefully when I move ill have more room for perrenial vegetables like that.
Love the info!
Do you remove or pull back the straw after the last first. Growing in Illinois.
You can leave it but pull it back a little bit so the leaves have Room to breathe
Thanks for this video! In a gutter how often do you fertilize the Strawberries during the year? 14days?
Yes. Every 2 weeks
@@NextLevelGardening Thank you again! I'm going to try it this year. I also have been skeptical but you are showing it is possible.
i live in SoCal - i'm definitely going to try this! Do you recommend starting from seed now (seeing as you & i are in the same region!) or buying one thats all ready started?
Definitely the right time for you!
I'm trying to start strawberries from seed in a mini greenhouse in zone 7b. And they are actually putting in effort not to grow. 🤣
Now know what I did wrong last year on the strawberry THANKS sorry much.
You're welcome 😀
Straeberries naturally grow wild in the north east of N. America, so confused during a warm winter? Yup.
Tip. If you wash your strawberry Berries in 3% hydrogen peroxide. They will last longer in the frig!
Makes sense. Thank you for sharing!
Straight solution?
White vinegar works also.
What zone are you in
10a
Will strawberries survive cold winters in rain gutters?
In really cold winters they probably should be brought inside
