We planted 12 Toscana strawberries this year in a raised bed on our deck and is still producing in August. They are an ever bearing variety and also gave us 36 new plants so far.
My first time growing strawberries I am living in linden town Guyana south America so it is warm here we do get rain I have learned a lot about planting strawberries in pot I will prepare mine the way you did hope to get beautiful berries like yours thanks 🙏 for sharing friend

I already planted my strawberries. But I centered them in the pot about a week ago. It would be a bad idea to move them now right? How bout if I tied them up would that be okay, or is that a bad idea. Or should I just mulch them and leave it be
@@tinocontreras5105 Hey Tino, I would just mulch them and leave them and see the growth pattern and how it fills out the pot. You can move them when they are large and established, no worries there.
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.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms growing good and getting strawberries : ) They are putting out a ton of runners, so I doubled my grow in less than 60 days. Once I get as many as I need, I will start cutting the runners so I can get more strawberries :) Thanks for checking in.
3gen farmer from Iceland with disability that had to move to the capital city. I find you're videos informative and insightful a long time ago my farm had plant research by my grade grand parents, then animals by grandmothers older brother and now we have still have animals by my mothers disabled little brother.
Interesting and informative. I got one plant from someone who couldn't bother with one of the two (1died)received by her son for his 7th bd. I repotted it. It bore about 6, then produced 9 young plants. I am now ready to pot them. Thanks for the info.
I was thinking of trying to grow some strawberries and cherry tomatoes this spring. Just a couple of pots since I have a very small balcony. This video was very helpful.
Plant the tops of strawberries this weekend when buying a few packs 👍👍 add the bottoms too 👍👍 water well enjoy - keep buying and growing etc : if we stop they go
Love you man. Between you and MI Gardener I've been able to build up a great spring/summer pot based garden for the last several years. This is the first year I'm trying strawberries, so I can't wait to see how they turn out.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms staple crop for me is always tomatoes. Burpee had a 3 plant mix and max option this year, so I went with a cherry tomato variety, beefsteak, and a plum tomato. 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 think after this year I'm finally going to build some raised beds like I've been talking about for the last 5+ years lol
awesome video! very informative and to the point. covered a lot of information we have been looking for in a short time. not a moment of useless info. I dont subscribe to many people but you got my attention!
Thx for sharing- I was searching for a grow bag video- I’m going to use 7 gallon bags instead of 5 gallon and give them more space-got a dozen June bearing plants to set out today- almanac says today is good for planting strawberries- got 4 bags set up for testing 4 different soil mixes ((Happy frog, ocean forest, Strawberry Fields, miracle grow )) -yeah I know it’s too late to expect any berries this year-but,hopefully next year will be berrie-berrie good--to me
Bought my little girls strawberries plants yesterday,, I think the pots will work perfectly for them since the last ones where damages by their chickens,,
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms absolutely I'm a pepper grower trying to branch out into other crops to grow and I really like the way you structure your videos! I'll definitely be keeping up with your channel from now on! Keep it up! Please don't be one of those awesome pages that stops uploading!
awesome tutorial! I am a total newb' at strawberries and just tried planting some ever-bearing berry pips in my garden bed but they sure looked to be D.O.A. had to plant em up and try anyway...though now i think i may have buried the crowns..good tips
Thanks for the info! I’m furiously trying to find info on this as I acquired a couple plants but they were in wet paper towel instead of soil so I’m rushing to get them planted
I’ve got a plant already somewhat grown at big bear & brought it here to Bakersfield. The leaves look dried , not sure if it’s cause my dog sat on the vines & bent them some type of way or I’m just not watering it enough or the heat. It did bloom one flower bud today but she does seem happier inside than the outside heat
Thank you as you helped me understand what the crown was and where although when you were first trying to show where the crown was on video you shot that part outside video range so we could not see it.
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.
Right on! I say go both. If you start now, you might still get runners which you can plant up into various pots and containers! Strawberries everywhere!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I might do the mounds cause from what I have been learning is you don't want the leaves touching the dirt or they will rot. So maybe do 2 mound rows and 5 or 8 pots. I am thinking of if I start producing a ton of strawberries, make strawberry wine but I will start with getting the plants set up first.
@@jman4083 they can... But strawberries tend to grow upright and get their leaves off the ground. I've never had a problem with it. Give it a try though... I know people who swear by mounding!
I am new to your channel. I have strawberries in the greenhouse, cause it will be eaten by deer in the garden.I have just let them "grow wild" in there and they are very close to eachother. You can see them in my latest video. Last year made the sweetest strawberries, but I think I gave them to little water, cause the season with berries was short. It gets very hot in there. So this season I give them more water every day when needed.
Right on! Yeah, that's the one drawback of greenhouses....getting so hot, making us water even more. I would go crazy with the mulch to help minimize evaporation, and thus cut the waterings down. Happy growing!
I dont know what I did wrong. All 3 pots have lots of healthy looking leaves but only one gave me some fruit and not much. I am watching this after I planted mine a couple months ago so I didn't do it like this. Basically used a good organic mix and smart pots.
I thoroughly enjoyed your explanation and presentation for planting my strawberry plants. I will be putting 3 plants into each 10 gallon county. When should I begin fertilizer? Virginia zone 7a.
I love the presentation and explanation of growing strawberries in pots! I'm using 3 10 gallon pots with 3 plants each. Thanks so much for this video. When should I add fertilizer?
Right on Sharon, you should do well with them! Once the leaves go into full production, you can use a mild, balanced fertilizer twice a month until fruiting. :-)
Time to WINTERIZE your Strawberries...here's how!: th-cam.com/video/kmUjcGaUImk/w-d-xo.html
My strawberry plant only gave me 2 strawberries last year. They were the most delicious strawberries I’ve had but I wish I had gotten more
Was it a new plant? Or an older established plant?
i am so sorry for laughing this hard but like two??
Strawberry plants take a year or two to set good roots and produce more fruits
@@StrawberryBeauty05 😄 🤣
😂😂 so sorry but can't just help laughing
This is the best-explained video I've ever seen. 1st-time gardener this summer.
Me too! Good luck!
How’d it go it’s my turn now lol

Nice should get the dry grass to put on mine is my first time growing strawberries it look ok in the pot I try not to water too much much ether
