You missed talking about sun, probably because the OP has plenty of sun (and didn't ask), I don't. I have a single strawberry planted in the fall last year that has set out several pups. I have little open area and it's a trade off for me what to plant where. The strawberries are growing into the shaded area, perhaps 4 or 5 hours of full sun. Are strawberries more tolerant of shade than say cucurbits or tomatoes? My current thinking, whether it is right I don't know, is to plant the greens (kale and swiss chard) in the less sunny garden edges, the strawberries are there also. Jeff I'd guess strawberries need lots of sun and not too much water for big sweet luscious berries. Around here full sun is the order of the day. I can't grow them but there are some pick your own places about. Favorite was Pulios in Clayton now gone. http://www.google.com/search?client=...tolerant+veget ables&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Googling that gave me this list culled from this group! http://www.rickharrison.com/texts/in..._tolerant.html I was surprised to find these listed: * blackberry * currants * gooseberry * strawberries ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'd really like to have some gooseberries. Any suggestions anyone? I know I'll have to mail order them as I've never seen them here. A lot of Gooseberry info out of the UK. Never thought of it as a potted plant. Jeff Good luck! |
