I bought 16 strawberry plants at the local market, in spring 2008, and I planted them out in a well fertilized bed, covered with a plastic film with holes, at the end of the vegetable garden, near a country hedge. In late summer I’ve propagated plants using their stolons. Now there are two strawberry beds, and I think that I’ll continue with this method.

cristina's strawberry Care Instructions
If you would like to sow this plant directly, try 0.0 inches (0.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm).
Strawberry is known for growing to a height of approximately 20.0 cm (7.8 inches) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has partial sun light - a full sun position will ensure your plant thrives.
Remember to water often.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (7) is within the ideal range for Strawberry. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 10.
Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Strawberry likes to be in acidic to alkaline soil.
Common Strawberry problems include Tomato ringspot virus and Verticillium Wilt, so keep a close eye out for any developing symptoms.
More information about strawberry is available in the Folia gardener's wiki. All strawberry Care Instructions have been kindly provided by our members.
