I bought one strawberry plant a couple years ago. I’ve been propagating plants from runners, and now have over 30 plants, even after killing off a bunch and giving some away. Now I’m trying the seed starting method for additional starts. It’s fun to try new things!
The June bearing make prolific numbers of runners according to what I am reading on the subject while alpine and wild make fewer and are much better for container growing. I just planted a 55 gallon barrel with 3 varieties of strawberry that I hope will survive and multiply. I am wondering if you have to leave the baby strings on the mother or if they will root in water or soil like sweet potatoes do? Have you tried other methods of propagating the babies than leaving them attached to the mother?
I love it! I'm going to try the seed hack too! I've got some ready, but right now I'm desperately potting things up that need big pots, etc. You know.....lol. Can't wait to try it tho! Very soon! 😁
I have a tray with baby strawberry plants from seeds. I used the plastic package from some supermarket cookies as a terrarium. They’re growing amazingly well in there. I started transplanting the bigger ones this week. Baby strawberry plants are freaking adorable! 😊
@@MattyDemello i have a neighbor that works for a company that makes them, and when they get new designs or colors, they give old ones to their employees. They are passed to me!
Thank you for your video's. Your patience in explaining the process has given me inspiration to start growing strawberries. Hoping your chanel continues to grow as the Father has intended. Blessings to you 🙏
love the video's great knowledge and easy-to-use in our own gardens thanks for your time and sharing with us your knowledge of planting l've learned alot from your little tips
Love the garden tips so helpful! I put a kiddie pool with drain holes filled up soil make a raised pile in the center insert 3-4 strawberry plants and it will produce runners and start themselves works great 👍✌️❤️
I am in awe with progess of apple tree from seeds. I saved 8 apple tree seeds 5 germinated. 4 are growing great! Thank you for tge training and Thank God for giving the harvest!!!
Then you're going to absolutely love the video I post tonight. It is on up potting your apple trees in 5 gal buckets ❤️......the progress of these seeds we started togeather is amazing. I think I have finally tweaked the soil so that it is just perfect for trees.......you'll see tonight 🤗
They say the same about apple trees. That they do not grow true to the mother plant but have vast genetics in their seeds. Also they will get really big without grafted roots. I have fond memories of climbing large apple trees as a child. Getting large may be a very good thing in the right spot, but many today may not expect it. ☺
The apple 🍎 thing is a fun adventure.......you kinda don't know what's coming but that it's gonna be cool. You can kinda guess based off the parent apple but with all the crosses nowadays there's no telling lol 🤣
This is awesome. I have not tried this yet because they say the fruit is very small when you grow strawberries from seed. Supposedly the fruit we eat from fruit stands and the store are hybrids, developed over long periods, but will not grow true to seed. They say many will be like the wild strawberry, which is extremely small fruit. Can you tell me what kind of fruit you are getting on these plants? Is it large like the ones you grew them from or small like wild strawberries? Thanks for sharing.
I was surprised to find out (in a previous video) that the strawberry capital was in Arkansas. I was raised in a rural county in Montana. Every country road you went down, in that country, seemed to have several "you pick" strawberry farms. The place that my parents bought was previously one of them, and for several years we would have people come to the door and get upset because that place (our home) no longer sold strawberries. I've started my own seeds, just a day or two ago. Only I didn't wait for them to dry. I cut out a small chunk that may have had 3 to 5 seeds on it, and covered it with about 1/4" of soil. I'm hoping that this doesn't hurt anything. I did it from a store bought strawberry, so I have no idea what the variety was. I was just concerned about the zone that it's grown in, since I live in Texas and I don't know if the hot summers we have down here would kill them or not. Anyway, I've really enjoyed the series. Great information. This should work better than buying bare root plants. I have bought some bare roots where almost all have survived, and others where none of them lived, regardless of how careful I was with the crown depth. This should be better than the bare roots because we know the plants that we're transplanting will be healthy. With bare roots, it's a crap shoot.
If I can do it over here in Arizona.....you can do it in Texas too. Using a 25-50% shade cover during may June and July ...... sometimes August will give your plants the fighting chance to really take off. The strawberry 🍓 you see in my video is now 50+ plants strong and have berries all over them....really big ones too. Good well draining soil with lots of compost material will help the root temps as well . I wish you the best of luck and I hope you have berries for pies soon ❤️ God bless my friend.
It's really bad stuff.....if it contaminated your garden....you would know in a few days and it sticks around for up to five years. Has also been linked to reproductive harm in farm animals as well......one of the evils of big ag
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 Thank you so much for the information. I subbed. Growing berries from seed too, just for fun. Pineapple plants get really big! Have a great weekend. 😃
Great message brother, I just subbed, I accidentally destroyed my strawberries last season. I messed up and covered the crown when transplanting. Bro I don't even know where they came from they just showed up one day in my onion troughs and I let em grow. After 2.5 years I let em get too much water and they got root rot. Anyway I am stratifying more seeds for another run. I live in central FL so its gonna be a challenge this late into season so wish me luck LOL. Godspeed brother
Hi Mr Murdock 👋 do you have your strawberries in a greenhouse cuz mine doesn’t have any runners at all, maybe I’m doing something wrong, thanks for the tips I love your videos really helps me a lot. 😊👩🌾👍♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 On that wire you put on the runner you can also use paper clip 😊👍 or the bread ties
Funny story i bought a strawberry plant with pink flower's and it said on the sticker propogation prohibited lol it literally had 20 runners dangling over the side like i wasnt going to propagate. Long story short i have about 25 pink flowered strawberry plants now 😂
I'm not sure how they could enforce that "do not propagate" rule, since the plant doesn't care what their rules are. I think their meaning is that you're not allowed to propagate 'for profit'. The plant was probably still under patent to some agricultural university.
I know someone who grew a few strawberry plants in their yard and didn't really keep up on them and soon enough the entire yard was full of strawberry plants. It was way out of control. Thats why ive hesitated even growing strawberries because i don't want my entire yard full. So ill probably just cut the runners off and let a few run but not out of control.
Thank you for mentioning that.....I'll mention the notification bell 🔔 in my next video as well. 🤗 ❤️ Seems unfair that RUclips would stop that low...but I've seen it now on my own channel. I noticed the channels that are doing segments for sponsors now are being put at front of feed........sorry but I'm not selling out. We can beat this. Share this and all the videos on every platform you can ❤️
Sometimes yes if they get big enough before spring but typically it's gonna be the end of their first season and a HUGE harvest on their second year. Mine barely made any last year but are loaded now
At that point it's time to separate them and give them parts of their own with new compost and soil and such. At 3 years, unless they are in the ground, the soil has completely broken down and they need some new goodies. I would transplant all of the big mother plants into their own individual containers or areas and let them go with some new nutrients and soil.
It really depends. If you're going for just one harvest or intend to replant them the following year you can squeeze four or five in there....just stick to a good feeding regiment. They will fill the box up for sure 👍
Love your video Would you say to put about 1 T Azomite? And can i use this in any of my plants i replant. Remember im new to this gardening thing haha😂 Thanks in advance🙏

Mr Murdoc, are you on Holiday? No new videos since 6 months ago.How long do you let your lights run for or how many hours can you get away with before the electric bill goes up?

You must have done a very good job. Congratulations. It's good when things spread out and they work well....... New things are the spice of life ❤️

I grow all my plants in the honor and glory of God! Wonderful video!
Amen. Me too. I have around 14 fruit tree's and a nice garden in a small lot. Like half a lot.
Amen! Just started, praying God blesses the fruits of my labor.
My lifetime supply of these red cups has been super handy this year!
How'd you get a lifetime supply? I'm jealous, hahahaha 😆
@@MattyDemello i have a neighbor that works for a company that makes them, and when they get new designs or colors, they give old ones to their employees. They are passed to me!
@@MattyDemello Because you can use the same ones over and over again. They'll probably last for many years.
Yay Murdock! Love from alberta * you know who❤😂😂

Love you Sir
Right back at you kiddo 💝
Exactly!! I prayed to thank him for my beautiful plants that I started by seed. I have poster pretty San Marzanos, 😢etc!! So big, healthy!! 😁
You can start new strawberry plants anytime of the year.
Absolutely. To prove that point these ones I believe were began in November or December.
love the video's great knowledge and easy-to-use in our own gardens thanks for your time and sharing with us your knowledge of planting l've learned alot from your little tips

That's a great idea!.........a kiddie pool 🤔.
You get all the credit and I will even give you props when that video gets made lol 🤣
Wonderful idea 💡
I want to grow strawberries so badly! Your tips are always invaluable! Thanks Murdock ❤️
We started with 6 strawberry plants. Every year we give away between 100 and 300 plants
wish I lived close to you need a few strawberry 🍓 plants to start
I am in awe with progess of apple tree from seeds. I saved 8 apple tree seeds 5 germinated. 4 are growing great! Thank you for tge training and Thank God for giving the harvest!!!

No I don't grow mine in a greenhouse, I start them indoors though.
This was really cool. Does it work with raspberries? I am growing apple trees from seed and have started lemon trees and apricot trees from pits.

Amen ! Praise the Lord! When is the best time , to wean the babies , from the runners ?
I wait about 30 days.....when I can see that the babies have fully attached and rooted themselves I sever the chord.
How do you keep the slugs from devouring the berries?
I know someone who grew a few strawberry plants in their yard and didn't really keep up on them and soon enough the entire yard was full of strawberry plants. It was way out of control. Thats why ive hesitated even growing strawberries because i don't want my entire yard full. So ill probably just cut the runners off and let a few run but not out of control.

Will everberring strawberry seeds produce fruit the same year?
Sometimes yes if they get big enough before spring but typically it's gonna be the end of their first season and a HUGE harvest on their second year.
Mine barely made any last year but are loaded now
When you have had strawberries in a pot for 3 years, do I need to thin out the plants, especially when other strawberries plants have popped up.?
At that point it's time to separate them and give them parts of their own with new compost and soil and such. At 3 years, unless they are in the ground, the soil has completely broken down and they need some new goodies.
I would transplant all of the big mother plants into their own individual containers or areas and let them go with some new nutrients and soil.
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 thanks for your reply.
It’s spring here in Australia, should I do it now or wait until autumn.
@@sunflower6434 go for it.
How many bare root strawberries can you plant in a 24"x11.75" planter box that fits on a deck railing
It really depends. If you're going for just one harvest or intend to replant them the following year you can squeeze four or five in there....just stick to a good feeding regiment.
They will fill the box up for sure 👍
What happen to the little that broke off. Can you grow it?
I'm growing mine in grow bags
What size bags do you like to use?
I thought about trying them here, but it's just so hot in the summer.
Love your video
Would you say to put about 1 T Azomite?
And can i use this in any of my plants i replant. Remember im new to this gardening thing haha😂

Yes and yes
