Hello Jim, I was pleasantly surprised at how big the Strawberries get when using new plants, well worth the effort to change them and give them space. 😆 Happy Gardening my friend, Terry.
Such a FANTASTIC and informative video about how to rejuvenate Strawberry beds :-) I am learning loads from you :-) thanks a million for sharing Jim and sending you an abundance of love and tons of happiness and happy growing from right across the Emerald Isle and have a MAGNIFICENT new week ahead XXXXX
Very interesting and informative Jim. Amazing to see how well they did from the earlier pics. They should do just as well if not even better now they're thinned out and have a layer that will mulch over the winter months. Thanks for sharing
normally older plants that are not diseased will produces very well for 2-3 years before burning out. It is also easier to control the beds if you go through them once per month during the summer once the largest runners on each offshoot has rooted. This will both take the stress off the mother plant which will allow it to produce larger strawberries and you will get some great runners for starting a new bed and remember to pot a few maintaining your original bed. Mowing is a good idea for both everbearing and junebearing strawberry plants as strawberry plants are most prone to disease when their foliage is becoming weak when they are going into dormancy. In the fall you can also walk through and remove any diseased or sickly looking mother plants and replace with some of the runners you collected the following spring.
Hey, thanks Brian. Much appreciated. No, I didn't put those in the compost. I do compost some things from the garden, but most things I don't. Mostly leaves for compost, with some kitchen scraps and such. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Hi....i have so many runners and new plants....its a mess..and honestly I don't even know what to do..i live in Canada..are winters r pretty brutal?should I mulch them with straw and clean them up in spring...or could i move and clip some runners and replant them now b4 it snows
Yes..thats what I thought but wasn't sure...thank you...i have a question about plants in pots..over time we need to refresh the soil and add new soil?but..in the old soil there r seeds..what do you suggest we do with the old soil to prevent dumping it in the garden and having more weeds or seeds germinate?do u recommend throwing out the old dirt to prevent more weeds coming up?Thanks alot!
I try not to reuse soil that has a lot of weed seeds in it. I do recycle my soil I use in my containers and grow bags, but I try to keep it as week free as I can during the growing season.
Hello sir,what are the signs of an older strawberry plant?Plz.. Also..i would have to dig out my strawberry patch in the spring cuz its so matted..so when i dig them up...do I cut off the runners then?and replant? Also...is it ok to keep planting strawberries in the same spot? Thanks so much
Hi there...i planted some everbearing strawberries this spring...its the first year for them..there leaves are starting to curl upwards would you happen to know why thank you
Strawberry plants can have fungal problems sometimes. That can cause leaves to curl. It might be more of a problem if you live in an area that had lots of rain this year.
You're welcome! Yes, they do require some maintenance.....especially if they are growing well for you. They will send out many runners and produce lots of new plants....and strawberries 😀
Hey Jim, I have never gotten rid of any strawberries before... I am not even sure which one is the original plant. I started with 1 about 5 years ago in a container. I did repot a lot of runners this year so I know they are "new", but not sure about the 12 other ones. So do you pull the olds one each year? I am growing the same variety, quinault and I bought the hula berry "white" strawberry this year and have runners off of them also. So how long do they last? Thanks for any info. T
Yeah, if you can tell which ones they are, I take out the old ones. Mine were so overcrowded this year that after I got started, I just grabbed hands full and pulled them out without even trying to figure out which were the old ones. Since I did this video, more of them are peeking through the leaves, so I'll probably have to pull some more.
When do strawberry plants stop producing fruit?is it there 3 or 4 yr Mark?I heard they usually live up to 4 hrs?this was 1st year of strawberries but they didn't produce alot of fruit..do you think 2nd yr will be better?thanks
Yes, your second year should be much better. The new plants that got established this year should probably do well next year. They can probably produce for 4 or 5 years, but I don't really like to let mine get much older than 3 years. That's just my personal preference though. Good luck with them next year!

I agree Terry. Just one of those things that has to be done.

Thank you for the very kind words Lyn. It is very much appreciated.
Lots of great strawberry plants. Wish I lived close. Would help you rejuvenate for the throwaways. All the best Jim.
Brent
Yep, if you lived close you could have had them all. I couldn't find anyone around here who wanted them.
Bummer!
Very interesting and informative Jim. Amazing to see how well they did from the earlier pics. They should do just as well if not even better now they're thinned out and have a layer that will mulch over the winter months. Thanks for sharing
Thanks. I sure hope they do well. We will see in the spring.

Thanks for the tips, Patrick! Much appreciated.
Thank u for your video. Mine haven't got to that point yet, just 2 yrs in but I didn't know that could happen so thank you in advance :)
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Good job Jim, now I have to add Strawberries to my grow list along with Peanuts. :-)
That grow list of yours is getting longer Kevin. I'm already making my list too.
Great video! Good luck Mr.Jim!
Thanks.
Great info, next year they will produce greatly for you since they have room now 😊
I sure hope they do well. We will see.
Just the info I needed. Thanks
You're welcome! It's always nice to hear that someone find a video useful.
Thanks MG
You're welcome!

this is to cool !
Thanks.
Midwest Gardener have a perfect night its good to see you respond much peace and light !
My strawberries were wilting in the heat last week. They look beautiful this week though!
Chuck
Sounds about like ours were doing.
they should do good in the spring!
I sure hope so.
I enjoy your videos, and appreciate your applicability as a fellow Kansan. Did you turn the scraps into the compost?
Hey, thanks Brian. Much appreciated. No, I didn't put those in the compost. I do compost some things from the garden, but most things I don't. Mostly leaves for compost, with some kitchen scraps and such. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Being that far north, I think I would wait till spring and do it then.
Yes..thats what I thought but wasn't sure...thank you...i have a question about plants in pots..over time we need to refresh the soil and add new soil?but..in the old soil there r seeds..what do you suggest we do with the old soil to prevent dumping it in the garden and having more weeds or seeds germinate?do u recommend throwing out the old dirt to prevent more weeds coming up?Thanks alot!

@@MidwestGardener ok thanks.
those extra plants could plant a giant patch. bet they do fine over winter and boom in the spring.
It's too bad that nobody around here wanted them. Like you said, it could have made a giant patch.
What do you do with the old plants.?do you throw them in the compost?if you do compost them...will they grow again since roots r still on them?thx
I usually give them away or discard them. Some people sell them.
@@MidwestGardener thanks alot..have a great day!

Also..i would have to dig out my strawberry patch in the spring cuz its so matted..so when i dig them up...do I cut off the runners then?and replant?

Older plants look more woody at the crown.

Strawberry plants can have fungal problems sometimes. That can cause leaves to curl. It might be more of a problem if you live in an area that had lots of rain this year.
Thank you..do you think its a sign that the plant will flower soon..cuz they look green and healthy
If they look green and healthy, then It's possible they could flower. For me, it's the second year when they really take off. Good luck!
Thx again..well..i will have to just waut and see..ive been really taking good care of them..i geuss you have to..they require maintenance. Thx again
You're welcome! Yes, they do require some maintenance.....especially if they are growing well for you. They will send out many runners and produce lots of new plants....and strawberries 😀

How big do the berries get with quanalts though?
I would call them average size.
Can you replant the ones you pull?
You sure can, as long as there it time for them to take root before it freezes.
Wow those strawberries really did spread.Mine wont even grow
Yes, in sandy soil, they can take over a large area if you can keep the grass and weeds out of them.
Ok thanks I'll try it and see if mine will grow
How old are the older plants plz?
It's been a while, but I don't remember for sure. Probably 2 or 3 years.
Thank you
You're welcome.

They definitely needed thinning. I see you cut off the chin whiskers. Best wishes Bob.
Yes, they were on top of each other. I guess I should have kept the beard for warmth, but it hasn't really gotten that cold yet.
That's what I was thinking. Personally I think it looks good on you.

Thanks. It must have lost something in the translation.
