Hello Dwayne!

Thank you for your answer.

I
`m planning to grow them in a pot! It is a special potcalled ( fraisière )
in French. It`s a ceramic pot with 4 pockets on the side.
You can plant some seeds at the top of the pot and in each of those pocket.

The winter here is very cold. Last week it was aroung - 30 Centigrade.
So, i don`t know what i`m going to do next winter although we have a lot of
strawberries grower in my area. Should I burried the pot in dead leaves and
let it outside, protected from the cold?

Also, the growing instruction says that the seeds are veruy slow to
germinate. Should I start them now knowing the end of April is very nice and
warm outside?

Thanks

Claude

| 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

| And, what do you do at winter time? Should I let the pot outdoor,
isolated

| Thanks
