I have a greenstalk full of strawberries, to save money the first year I only planted strawberries in every other tier. When the runners started to set I used a landscape staple to hold them in the nearest empty pocket. The "empty" pockets I planted with annual flowers just to be pretty until the runners started to root in. Also, I'm in Knoxville Tennessee where geenstalk was invented and still produced so we LOVE a greenstalk.
Hearing Laura talk about how the baby plant takes energy away from the mother plant makes me giggle. My 10 month old son takes energy from me every day! :)
Laura, you should try rooting your runners in water! You can take an empty 72 count seed starting tray and put a runner in each one of the pockets to keep them upright. Then fill the bottom watering tray up half way with water and you'll have fully rooted plants in a few weeks that are ready to be potted up in soil. I found this to be much more reliable than establishing them in soil and I've tripled my strawberry crop this year with this technique. Enjoy!
I smile each time you mention strawberries as I remember when Benjamin first discovered them in your raised beds and how enjoyed them so much ! Now Samantha is doing the same . Thanks for sharing. Your hard work seems effortless but we know it’s such hard work to provide such great content like you both do! What a team you all are! I have enjoyed the change of content so much. Look forward to the pond and all that’s happening there!
I lost all of my strawberries that were planted in my Greenstalk last winter because I didn't know I needed to protect them in the winter here in my zone 6 garden. Thank you for all the info!
Is it just me, or does it seem like Laura is talking faster? It also seems as those the cuts are much quicker when she switches a subject.
I've seen just how much compost that you use, that I am surprised that Aaron has not yet invested in your own composting heaps to recycle as much garden waste, as you do with Bethany's pigs. Here, our local council offers bulk purchase of compost, just as you seem to buy for mulch.
I put all cut-off runners into a plastic container, or old pickle jar/mason jar with water in the bottom that covers the entire base of the plant, sometimes it even goes up over the leaves, if it rains the container might be full of water until I empty a part of it. Roots will grow this way effortlessly. Once you see root, then plant it. You might loose a plant once in a blue moon, but majority roots for replanting.
It's so cool that you make videos every day for us. ❤
In the spring I cut all the runners from my bugleweed and filled trays with the babies and they rooted beautifully. I ended up with about 300 baby bugleweed plants to fill in around a stepping stone path on the side of my house that usually just fills with regular weeds. My hope is that when the bugleweed fills in and creates a blanket it will suppress the weeds. It's only an area towards my gas meter and air conditioning unit and we don't usually frequent back there. But its quite shady so I've added some hosta, heuchera and Japanese painted ferns just for some fun and colour. I used two different bugleweed as well, chocolate chip and burgundy glow. I'm obsessed with burgundy glow because of the pink white and green variegation. I can't wait to see it on a large scale 😊
I had great success with the babies when I planted them (still attached to the mother) in a small clear disposable plastic cup of soil. I used “alligator clips” to attach the cups directly to the greenstalk. I water each little cup separately of course and I used straight hairpins to attach to each baby to keep contact with the soil. When I start to see roots in the little clear cups, I remove the baby from the mother and plant the baby with the roots. I clip the weaker babies and try to only have one baby per greenstalk section. That gives me up to 30 new plants. At first I tried to root every baby but it was hard to manage. Pick the strongest baby per mother plant to propagate and clip the rest every time they emerge until the baby in each cup roots. I hope my explanation was not confusing.
I did just that! I added strawberry plants in two flower pots. My grandson who turned one in May enjoyed a strawberry or two almost everyday this summer! He would walk down the sidewalk saying “berries!” 😊 it was the cutest thing! Better bet this grandma will be adding lots more next year!
I learned so much today! Our strawberry patch is in 5 large pots along the south side of our house. We started over with fresh plants this year and have had pretty good success. The couple of pots that seemed to not produce I am realizing I added some soil after planting and maybe buried their crowns.
The next video will be Laura showing the strawberry plants growing in her compost pile! 😊
I can see Benjamin and Samantha doing a happy dance !! They will have more strawberries to eat later in the year.😊 Benjamin, I hope you and Samantha gave mom a great big hug for planting you guys some more strawberries to snack on.
I didn't know strawberries last multiple years! ❤
Strawberries make my favorite jam. It’s handy to have some in the freezer, too. Those plant towers would be so great on a patio or small space. 👍💚💚💚
I'm sooo happy to see you plant the bigger baby strawberries you cut off the mother plant☺️
Vertical gardens are an excellent way for people with limited space to grow things. Thanks for sharing. Happy Gardening 👩🌾🍓💚🍓🍓🍓
Though I have no need for a Greenstalk just watching Laura do anything garden related makes me happy! Good morning from Denver! 🌻🌸🌷🌺🐞😍
