i,m new to pots i,ve recently moved into a flat so need to adjust to pot growing and know absolutely nothing at all about strawberrys so your video was a great help, BUT as strawberrys are perennials what happens next year with the pots ? can you keep on potting ? perhaps potting up ? or would you need to plant outside,Great video by the way thank you.
Hi Erica, a friend gave me quite a few strawberry plants last Spring that I planted at the base of my grapes! I hope that they multiply and spread and produce this year! I didn’t get too many last year, a few garden snacks and enough for some strawberry shortcake after gathering and freezing them! Best wishes for a delicious harvest! 🍓🍓🍓
Hello love, so good to see you today. The new strawberry plants are so fun and exciting to grow and watch. Those do look to be very healthy so I hope they work well for you. You look like you are smiling a lot today I am happy you are having a good time with your home garden. Peace and blessings take care bye for now
Hey Erica.... I have had success with an Everbearing Strawberry called "Mara Des Bois". It blooms May through September and has the highest Quality flavor and Aroma.
Hi Erica. Nice to see your strawberries in pots, and I look forward to seeing how they go in the smaller terracotta pots, as I have some of those. Have you grown day neutral plants? They don't have runners but they're not dependent on the length of daylight hours?
Erica you will get great runners from them. It isn't till the following year that I get a good harvest from mine. I just got rid of a old strawberry patch, but had let runners on three other beds. I net mine over, in my allotment,and spread some coffee to deter slugs. Have you ever tried the hybrid version,pinestrawberry is one have( pineapple) sounds weird but lovely. B&Q sometimes have hybrids. Well done great video, here's to a great harvests.
We have a massive strawberry patch, which I share with my wild bird friends (begrudgingly) but this year I've picked up some Pineberry starts for something new! I'm hoping I won't have to share these ones...
Hi Erica, Elsanta is a good tasting variety. However for my money Sonata is a much better tasting fruit. Sonata is an Elsanta - Polka cross, taking the best qualities from both. Marshmallow is also nice tasting type but have found it difficult to pick it at its optimal ripeness as it seems to be red for a few days before its ready and then turns over-ripe very quickly. That being said last year was its first season for me and what a trying season it was so will see how does this year, if its the same it will be for the chop and I will try another variety.
Hi Erica if your interested I’ve got a short video on my channel where I grew strawberries in 5lt pots up a 6 foot post you can get 28 plants in a very small area and only have to water from the top, it works well
@@ericaslittlewelshgarden You’re more than welcome Erica. I’m just so happy to find your channel. I’m in Northern Ireland, so nice to see content with the same weather 🙏🏻 We have a wee sprinkling of snow too ❄️💚🍀
Elsanta are my favourite
Elsanta is the main product in the supermarkets. Been a greengrocer 19 years and nearly always these.

Got my strawberries out now but covered with perspex until the warmer weather arrives😊👍
Oh lovely.

Hi Erica, Should I add some ericaceous compost to the strawberry pots please? Thank you.
It looks so green and cozy where you are🌳🌱🌿Where I am it looks like a freezer🌨❄☃
Thumbs up👍
Might be green but very wet.

Ohh, I'll have to check them out.

Oh, they don't send runners out? Very interesting.
How do you make mulch !(wood chip); for a new gardener with limited tools
I have a garden shredder to do it. 😊
I missed it ahhh. But happy to find 😊
Thanks for watching.
@Erica's Little Welsh Garden I was moving 40 strawberry plants today. Got some in baskets in the tunnel growing very well 🤗
Really helpful video, thank you very much

I potted up some strawberries today too 😊
Exciting!
Elsanta is probably the most popular strawberry in the UK it has taken over from Cambridge favourite
Well you learn something everyday!
I’m growing Gazannia strawberries and Alpine Red & White Strawberries from seeds for the 1st time this year.
Hope they all do well for you. 😊
@Sharing is Key oh that’s great to know and a good recipe idea. My 1 year old grandson will enjoy them.
Where in Wales are you? I’m in Bridgend😊
Between Swansea and Neath. Not far.
