Overwinter Your Strawberry Plants! The final episode of the Strawberry Definitive Guide Series. Today, we look at preparing your strawberry mother plants both in the ground or raised beds, as well as containers, for the longer winter ahead.
Its not at all hard and in fact, if you live in areas where winter is not too harsh, you can actually just leave your strawberries alone. Like any good perennial, they come back to life every spring.
However, if you live in an area with a significant cold season, or you’re growing in containers, then your strawberry plants will need some extra protection. And today, we’ll talk about everything you would ever need to know to winterize your strawberry plants this year.

This is so awesome! I had winterized container strawberries too early this year and they sprouted this past month in the unseasonably and unexpected warm weather. Now have no idea if I should cut back the sprouts and toss more straw and leaves on them. We are in zone 5B Southern New Hampshire (normally much colder outside now, but it’s been in the 60°-70° range this past month). Have also had a few early morning frosts too. I absolutely love watching your videos and have learned so much about gardening. A greenhouse with a wood stove is in the near future. We’ve been stocking up on used windows and lumber.
Does anyone know what kinda disease my strawberries have and what I can do to save them.( brown yellowish splotches on leaves)
Jesus is Alive he love us all you heard a loud voice that you couldn't see get white and look up to heaven
I don’t think this winter is going g to be a normal one.
Green stalk?? Helpful to put in green hose with mulch??
Thank you for this video 😊

OHHH YERHHH
Yep I’m still harvesting fruit and runners
Hey there!
Im a new watcher of the channel. I love strawberries but I was watching your onion videos yesterday and I wanted to try to grow the onions from onion bottoms. I planted an onion bottom about three weeks ago and its sprouting. But I got it from the grocery store. Will it have any diseases on it? Im worried about diseases and such. Its just that the onion sets are so expensive. Have you ever planted onions and garlic from gocery store sets before?
Help!
For me, my unheated garage in zone 5b worked really well for my container strawberries.
When you say, no warming trend in sight, how warm are you talking about? 40’s?
So beautiful
Well I almost bought strawberries last year but now I will for sure. Thanks 😋
Love your videos! Theyve been helping me learn so much!! Ive got some new strawberries i planted in May that I bought off Etsy, theyre supposed to be "pineberries", a pineapple flavored strawberry. (We will see, maybe i got scammed lol) It will be the first fruit I've grown and im so excited to get a harvest next year! Im in 7A and they are in containers. The leaves are still bright green and tall despite the temps just dropping to around freezing, for the 2nd day. Should I be waiting for 3 consecutive days of freezing temps, or actual frost on the ground/plants?
Thank you!
I’m glad you spoke about what you can do in what zones. We are in zone 3 so I will avoid using raised beds or containers for sure. Thanks.
Thanks for all the information, Jeff. I really need to get some strawberries growing next year in my grow bags. I do have a few plants, compliments of a bird, growing among my perennials 😂. But I would like a better dedicated area for them!! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!!
Question how do protect your garlic from squirrels they digged up my garlic cloves!
Hi I'm definitely going to do this now especially when I have my strawberries in a vermicompost bed. It'll insulate the worms and the strawberries, I will probably net the bed to to stop the wind blowing the leaves away.🙏💚👍😊
