Commonly Asked Questions
What month is best to plant strawberries?
Strawberry plants can be planted in an unheated greenhouse or poly tunnel in the autumn to fruit the following spring. They can be planted in March to harvest a few months later. If grown in a heated greenhouse, strawberries can be planted out as early as December, with pickable fruit ready from late March onwards.
Where do strawberry plants grow best?
Strawberries like fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. In poor or heavy soil, it's preferable to plant them in raised beds, which provide better drainage and increased rooting depth. They grow best and produce the sweetest fruits in full sun, but will tolerate some shade.
Do strawberries need more sun or shade?
Strawberries require sun to produce fruit. Ten or more hours of sunlight each day is ideal, but they need a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight each day. Before planting, a soil test will help you find out if you need to add any nutrients to your soil.
Can strawberries be grown in pots?
Strawberries can adapt to a wide variety of containers, from 6- to 8-inch pots for individual plants to larger planters, such as wooden or plastic half barrels, for multiple plants. They grow in hanging baskets and window boxes too.
Should I put straw around my strawberries?
Strawberry plants are considered a tender perennial on the prairies and require additional winter protection to survive our extreme winter temperatures. Mulching with straw is necessary to protect the crop from low-temperature injury to crowns and shallow root systems.
