    My strawberries are already blooming and forming. I’m so excited last year I planted six strawberry plants and they’ve started growing babies and flowering. I’m gonna have lots of strawberries this year. I’m so excited.

    Thanks Kim! I did exactly as you recommended. My ever bearing strawberries produced a lot of runners which I was able to save and this year, I gained nine new plants. Hope they produce a decent amount of berries to enjoy this summer. Thanks!

    My strawberry plants all pooped out this summer. My bareroot strawberries did not grow. I did get 2 strawberries out of the Baker Creek plantstarts but they too had issues with our Texas summer this year. I will continue to feed and water the roots in case they decide to regrow this fall. I've never been very successful at growing strawberries but the 2 that did ripen only encourage me to keep trying.

      I am also in Texas. The first year you plant them you need to take off the blooms to help them establish their root systems. A little root stimulator a month after planting also helps. You will have strawberries every year after... it is so difficult to do that I know!!! However your patience will be rewarded!!

    I’m a newbie so need all the advice I can get. I dug up established plants from garden of a friend that passed. I have stripped down all sister and any dead leaves, trimmed the roots and have them ready to plant.
    BUTTTT…
    My issue is if I should bring them indoors…. after washing and cleaning like a crazy person. Don’t want any “friends” coming into the house” 😂. Since they weren’t originally from my plants, I don’t know if they are everbearing or Junes.
    I’m in zone 6a, so I guess it’s important to ask if they’ll even produce inside lol. Or other choice is to get them in the ground. Let her grow until I need to get them ready for winter.
    I’m all ears if anyone has suggestions and/or experience! 😊😊 PS… don’t forget I’m a newbie and am clueless about what to do, or even normally do 😂

    • @CaliKim29
      @CaliKim29  2 дня назад

      You’ve done a fantastic job prepping these plants for transplanting! To help them settle in, choose a spot with the right sunlight and soil conditions-similar to where they were previously growing, if possible. When planting, dig a hole slightly wider and as deep as the root ball, adding a bit of compost or transplant fertilizer at the bottom for a nutrient boost.
      After placing them, water deeply to settle the soil around the roots, and keep the soil consistently moist (but not soggy) for the first couple of weeks to reduce transplant shock. Adding a layer of mulch around the base helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, but be sure to keep it a few inches away from the stems to prevent rot. It’s normal for plants to look stressed after transplanting, so be patient; they’ll adjust to their new home over time.

    Do you fertilize Everbearing strawberries after the last crop or just before the first frost?🍓🍓🍓🍓

    • @CaliKim29
      @CaliKim29  Месяц назад

      Hi Allan! For everbearing strawberries, it’s best to give them a light dose of fertilizer after their last harvest to help them store energy for the winter. You can use a balanced organic fertilizer or compost to give them a little boost before they go dormant.
      Just before the first frost, it’s more important to mulch them well rather than fertilize, so they’re protected during the colder months. Then, in the spring, you can fertilize again to encourage healthy new growth! 😊🍓 Help? Let me know how it goes! CK

    Living in MN when it’s really cold in the winter, how do I care for strawberries if I grow them in pots or hanging baskets ? Do I have to take them inside ?

    • @CaliKim29
      @CaliKim29  6 месяцев назад

      Definitely doable with some care. Choose Cold-Hardy Varieties - you research this.
      Also, In late fall or early winter, after the plants have gone dormant, you can prune them back to remove any dead or damaged foliage.
      Provide protection BEFORE the winter sets in. Move them to a more sheltered location, such as against a south-facing wall or near the house, where they can benefit from the warmth radiating from the building.
      Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base of the plants to insulate the roots and protect them from extreme cold.
      Make sure to water your strawberry plants adequately throughout the fall, but reduce watering as winter approaches.
      Bringing them indoors for the winter. A garage, shed, or unheated porch can serve as a suitable overwintering location. Make sure the plants still receive some light: a window or supplemental grow lights.
      Monitor for Pests and Diseases!

    • @CaliKim29
      @CaliKim29  9 дней назад +1

      Hi keohon, at the start of each growing season, refresh your strawberries by mixing in compost or organic fertilizer to give the soil a nutrient boost. No need to dig up and replant. However, If your plants are over 3 years old, it’s time to replace them with new plants or grow new ones from runners. This helps keep your strawberry patch healthy and productive for seasons to come! Keep me posted how your strawberries grow! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already.

      I would try Slow-Release Fertilizer as it provides a steady supply of nutrients over time. It should say that right on the packaging at your local nursery center or box store nursery center.And/or Organic fertilizers they improve soil structure and promote microbial activity. Hope this helps, Stephen. Keep me posted! CaliKim

    • @CaliKim29
      @CaliKim29  2 месяца назад

      It sounds like the strawberries in that particular barrel might be experiencing some stress or nutrient deficiencies. Here are a few things to consider:
      Soil Quality: The soil in the barrel with the struggling strawberries might be lacking in essential nutrients. Strawberries need well-draining soil that’s rich in organic matter. If the soil is too compacted or depleted, the plants might struggle to produce healthy fruit. You could try adding compost or a balanced fertilizer to boost the nutrient content.
      Watering: Uneven watering can cause issues with fruit development. Make sure the soil in both barrels is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Inconsistent moisture can lead to smaller or underdeveloped berries.
      Sunlight: Ensure that both barrels are getting the same amount of sunlight. Strawberries need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If one barrel is shaded more than the other, it could affect the plant’s growth and fruit production.
      Plant Health: Inspect the plants in the struggling barrel for any signs of disease or pests. Sometimes, fungal infections or pests like aphids can cause the plants to produce smaller or misshapen fruit.
      Barrel Condition: Check if the barrel itself is causing any issues, such as poor drainage or overheating. Containers can heat up more quickly, especially if they’re in direct sunlight, which could stress the plants.
      By comparing the conditions of both barrels and making any necessary adjustments, you should be able to help your struggling strawberries bounce back. If you’re still having trouble, a soil test might give you more insight into what’s happening. Let me know if this is helpful!! CK

      Sounds like what I had on my squash last year although these spun webs, moved fast and looked more like brownish-red dust. If so you might have red spider mites. A heavy dose of neem oil mixed with castile soap spray might work. Try 4 tbsp of each per gallon of water, good luck Jimmy.

    Im confused about this fertilizing strawberries. I’ve watched a few videos on strawberries and you are the only one that says to fertilize every 2 weeks and to use high nitrogen. Others say todo it only once in the spring and once in the fall after harvest is complete. Nitrogen will give mostly green growth and few berries because they need higher P & K. 🤷‍♀️

    • @CaliKim29
      @CaliKim29  6 месяцев назад +2

      Hi Michele - sorry for the confusion. To clarify, I feed my container/hanging basket berries every 2 weeks as I mentioned in the video, but when they're flowering and fruiting, I"ll only feed them worm tea. At the beginning of the season and after they are done producing, or after a heavy pruning, they"ll get N along with the worm tea to help them grow more leaves. Hope this helps!
