strawberries
Can any of the members suggest the best way of overwintering my pot grown strawberries. I do not have a green house but do have a largish open sided lean to shed.
regards, mike. |

If i was you i would remove any plant runners from the parent and pot them
up,then store all of your plants in a frost free place.Then next year repot them in fresh compost & feed, water as normal! I left some out last year,they have done nothing this year! i hope this helps? thanks keith "m.payne3" wrote in message ...

Personally, I don't see why overwintering strawberries in pots should be a problem - I did so succesfully last winter. I overwintered half a dozen rooted runners in pots. The pots were all packed into a tray, and were on a bench adjacent to the garage wall facing south, and came through with no problems (I'm in N.Wales). I did use plastic pots, and made sure the pots were well watered when they needed it, and not flooded at others. HTH, Sarah |

I kept 3 strawberry plants in pots on my allotment last winter. They are still in those pots. I only had a couple of fruits and the plants have been sadly neglected, but in spite of little water in recent weeks, are still OK and I hope to get them planted soon if we get some rain to soften the soil. This should give you confidence that they are quite tough plants! Pam in Bristol |
