Home Grown Strawberries

Maybe it’s time you started growing your own strawberries.  Lack of space is not a problem if you consider growing them in containers.  Start with a strawberry jar on your patio.

The article on Sunset website shares lots of valuable information about planting strawberries.

June-bearing types bear one crop of high-quality berries each year in late spring or early summer. Everbearing (day-neutral) varieties peak in summer and continue to produce into autumn; though they bear for a longer period than June-bearing sorts, they tend to be less vigorous. Within these two types, there are varieties adapted to almost every climate in the United States.

Planting and care

In most parts of the country, strawberries are planted in early spring; where winters are mild, you can also plant in autumn.
