I found that using straw mulch helped my berry plants through the summer
Awesome! Thanks for the info. Just ordered from the link you provided. 😊
I may be completely wrong, but isn't it Stark, Florida that has a strawberry festival and "u pick" in March? I bought strawberry starts several months ago and didn't realize that they were different breeds until they grow a bit. They were doing wonderful until the stupid storm "Nicole". The entire green house, tables and all were turned upside down… uurrgg.. I've been able to save a few pieces of the strawberry plants, but I'm sure they are mixed up together in the pots…. oh well, lessons learned… BTW I found 6 spiral "tomato" states at my Lowes. They were $4+ each, I bought them all. TFS all your knowledge. I think I'm going to order more strawberry plants from the place you recommended. Oh, just FYI, being in North Florida, we get many more freezes than y'all do, hence Greenhouse..✌👍🍂🥀🦩🍓🍓🍓🍓
I order from the same place 20 plants; they sent 2 extra. All have survived and have berries. I planted in pots with a mix of black cow, sand, dirt, & peat moss. Only did the pots because I have not figured out where exactly I wanted to put in my yard. I planted prior to the hurricane. Around Oct 25th. Had a shade cloth over the area to protect from direct full sun when first started. My first-time planting this. Love watching all the get ideas on this channel. My yard is years from looking so good. 😓
Thanks for showing the reality of growing in FL. I have some everbearing strawberries I got last year- the squirrels ate most of them🙄. About half survived for another season, so we’ll see how we do. I ordered some Chandlers to compare- and may put some in my greenstalk in my lanai to keep the squirrels from feasting.
From what I have read you pinch off the flowers the first year. This allows the plant to concentrate on getting established. They also love full sun. You may need shade cloth in the hottest months. Mine have filled in my 4×12 bed. I had about 25 plants and only 1 died. Good luck with the ones you have let.
All of mine died to, we are in Jacksonville. Started some from seed as experiment and they are growing great. Keep going with videos, you are helping me get used to growing things in FL! We moved from IL, totally different seasons here 🙃
I always look forward to your videos
Love your planting buddie thank you for when to plant them
I bought 18 (received 20) bareroot plants off the internet. The variety was Festival. I planted them in a tower, October 22, and they all took off well. Then the tower fell over. After replanting, October 31, I'm down to 11 plants and a couple of them aren't looking good. I'll probably end up with 8 or 9. It's been a learning curve for sure.
Your farming assistant is amazing! So bright, articulate, and asks the best questions. Adorable. You and Ben are doing a fantastic job. I secretly think your strawberries just wanted more "best flattening" from the young grower.
This is my first year gardening for edibles, and am trying strawberries, too. Overcrowded my Chandler strawberry runners into 2 stacked pots, medium on top of large (with elephant garlic, which are also space and nutrient hogs) The "extra" 7th runner melted with all the water from Nicole, but remaining six doing fine. The top planter strawberries are nice and strong, almost look like they were started way earlier than the lower deck; I guess strawberries like more sunshine.
Must take advantage of the cooler weather to transplant the elephant garlic cause after less than 3 weeks, they are 18" tall and poking roots out of the bottom of the large pot, and will probably throw some shade (in my defense, I didn't expect elephant garlic to have so many wide leaves, duh, it's a leek!).
For anyone in Central Florida (or Strawberry Crazed), Strawberry Festival is March 2-12, 2023 in Plant City (off I-4 between Tampa and Orlando). Then many commercial farms will open for U-Pick after, and depending on conditions, may go until mid-April.
Happy Thanksgiving, Y'All!
So adorable ❤ you to😊
I am in Bradenton and planted Chandlers that cost a fortune and out of 75 plants got maybe 2 berries. This year from Parksdale I got beautiful bare roots – much healthier, and less expensive. They are the Brilliance berries meant for our area. I planted some in raised bed and some in green stalk and both are doing well. The green stalk look about double the size of the raised bed. From now on I will buy from Parksdale.
