Default Question about strawberries!

Good morning Claude. You didnt indicate if you are going to make a
strawberry bed or were you intending to grow them in a pot? If you want to
raise strawberries, I would build a bed for them and plant them there. If
you want a nice plant to hang up and look pretty and give you a conversation
piece, a hanging pot is fine.

I used to have about 60 plants in a bed and picked about 5 cups every other
day. I got a type that was good for the cold weather, an everbearer, and
never mulched it. I dont know how cold your winters get.

Hope this helped you. Maybe someone else will gove you more information.
Good luck. Dwayne

Hello!

I just bought a kit to start strawberries from seeds in a ceramic pot! I
lived in Montréal, zone 5 b ( I think ) and I would like to know what is

the
best time to start them?
And, what do you do at winter time? Should I let the pot outdoor, isolated
with leaves and styrofoam?

Thanks

Claude
