Man I can't even grow tomatoes. Tried a couple times but we have a great little farmers market downtown and I just leave it to the pros. Nor am I hosting chickens to drop eggs.

I buy the Whopper variety from Gurneys. They were doing well until I got chickens this year. Chickens ate all the strawberries then tore up the plants.
Gotta replant in a fenced in area. 24 plants in a raised bed produced nearly 1 1/2 gallons of strawberries in the 2nd year. 3rd year chickens arrived and strawberries got gied.

Huge strawberry farm, pick your own or buy buckets of freshly picked strawberries, about 10 miles away. Growing strawberries here would be like taking coal to Newcastle.
HOTD trivia: Strawberries are neither berries nor fruit. Bonus HOTD trivia: bananas are berries.

(02-08-2024, 07:17 AM)Replying to Sugarhilldawg All kinds of critters(deer, squirrels, chipmunks etc) will eat all of them before you can [/quote] That has been my experience strawberries are fairly invasive too, I planted a few in a raised bed a few years ago, they have damn near taken it over. Chipmunks at my casa eat good. |
