  1. Its good to have friends. my strawberries are doing absolutely nothing but not dying the won't speed or flower. I bout stater plant and it has flowers and produced a few rotten fruit and nothing since then.

  2. I grew up with strawberries in the garden and learned to always rotate strawberries beds not only because plants get old but to control disease. So close to 10 years ago, I started raising my strawberries (and most of garden) in raised beds and will never go back. Around here in Ohio 25 plants are under $10 so in the spring I plant these in new beds (total of around 30ft). By next year the beds will be full of plants and we will be picking berries. After the second year of picking, I clean up the bed and have enough time to double crop beans and edamame. So I always have 2 seasons of June berries. Also, I never let my runners go out over the edge. Move them around to fill up your beds and out of those 25 plants your will have many many quarts.

  3. Interesting to learn about the crown grown taller, with roots further away from the soil. Knowing this, do you think it's possible to trim the lower part of the crown, while leaving the upper part with some roots still attached, then planting it again?

  4. Our seeds arrived today! Jenna and I are super excited to plant these and grow some yummies. Also very proud to support y'all and this channel. For the record if anyone is thinking about ordering seeds from these guys do it! .99 cents?!?! Best deal around. Processed our order and shipped super fast. Thanks so much.

  5. Thanks for the post. We re-planted about 200 strawberry plants two years ago into a well fertilized and composted bed. They had been in the original beds for who knows how long, definitely undernourished and in need of a change. We got a good harvest the first (last) year. After mulching with leaves at the end of last season and mulching further with straw this year we had a very good crop and the plants look amazing.

  6. Hello. Love all your videos. I, like a lot of people , am a first time gardener. I created 3 raised beds this season. At first I just filled them with dirt but after a while I got really tired of weeding. After doing some research I decided to mulch the bed. Its been great. Cuts down on watering and weeds are a thing of the past. My question is: Do I turn the mulch under at the end of the season? Next year if I plant from seed, I would think I would have to remove the mulch as the mulch is about 3" thick. Seeds won't be able to come through. Just curios as how you handle mulch in your garden.

  7. Can I dig up my Easter lily bulbs now the flowers are done. They are in the strawberry bed. I want to dig it up and replant. I'm having the same problem. Low productivity. Old plants.

  8. I've decided to have three beds of strawberries and one bed of garlic. Since garlic is harvested early august, I will replant the garlic bed with strawberries and, in october, change the three year old strawberry bed to garlic.
