    I read in a gardening magazine and also saw on the Epic Gardening channel that for everbearing strawberries, you pick the flowers off until early June. That gives the leaves more time to grow and develop, which helps produce more and larger strawberries for two harvestings after that. Your thoughts about this, please.

      It has been a few years since one grown, but I think 2021 (may have been 2020), I did a bunch of cucumber, tomato, and chili pepper varieties all in pots and had great success.

    I am planning on growing strawberries this year. Well I might have to wait till next year for fruit to grow but at least I will have it started. I am in the process of finding a planting plot for them. I am deciding on what kind of bed I want to use Either classic flat bed, mounds, or even might try pots cause one no weeds, easy to move them if I have to, also I could make a anti bird cage to cover the strawberries so the birds wont get to them but I can easily lift the cage for harvesting. We also have blueberries bushes that have been producing for a few years now so having fresh blueberries with strawberries would be a dream. For me if I had the choice between candy and fresh ripe fruit I would pick fruit 100%. Anyways thank you for the video vary informative.

      No, never bring strawberries inside.... They need the dormancy period.

    Hey, I need your help. I have grown my strawberry plant in pots and now, the berries are arriving. But at the same time, some flies are coming and eating the leaves. I can't use pesticides as the fruits are arriving. What shall I do??

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Oh dang, that's terrible! I would go with a natural (castile) soap solution, vegetable oil, and water. Table spoon of each of the soap and oil in a liter of water and spray the whole plant every 2 days. Won't harm the fruit, won't harm you!

    I just got Fort Laramie Everbearing Strawberry bare root plants about 20 of them. I washed them prepped them etc.. and planted them in different ways and use berry fertilizer while others i used fish emulsion kind of like a science experiment lol. I’m worried they won’t grow because I live in south Florida which is a tropical zone like zone 10a. I just planted them now in August in a tier potting system I have. Do you recommend I use a shade cover while they are under the sun and how often should I water. Lately, it’s been around 85-90f degrees.

    • @EE-jc3wp

      Yeah, 90F is getting up there... Definitely make sure they are kept moist. If someone was selling them locally, they definitely grow there, so you should be ok.

      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It all depends. If you want fruit this year, leave them on. If you're building the plant up for a larger production next year, you can cut them off, but whether or not you'll come out ahead in the long run for total production is anyone's guess. :)

    Hey Dude! Great display...I don't have time to review in case I missed it. Do the container berries fill the pot quickly? Do we have to divide them in a couple of seasons? Or are they to be left alone in their pots to live out their life-span for a couple years?

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey Kris, all depends on the size of the pot. I have some that I can leave for 4 seasons..others just get way too crammed in there and require breaking up and dividing after just 2 season.
