Thanks for the helpful information! I love watching your videos, I'm always learning something new.
I worked on my strawberries while listening to your video. I'm amazed by how many runners I had.
Strawberries, tasty weeds. I’m so thankful this house came with an amazing bed of strawberries. I always encourage family to come take plants.
How often do you repeat the baking soda spray? Thanks
This is the kind of video that I needed to take care of my strawberries this year. Also, this is my first year growing a garden and I used Trifecta on all of my plants and my garden was incredible. I grew my first broccoli, cauliflower and onions. I totally recommend this product. I do believe it was a gamechanger for me. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge.
Good info. Thanks for sharing. I hope you will revisit the beds before winter and show us how to protect the plants for winter! Thanks!!
At what point do you show how strawberries can also grow in august, 🤔 bit clickbaity, meh. more like what to do with your strawberrie PLANTS in August 😉
This was a very timely video. I think the humidity hit my plants extremely hard this past week in SW Michigan. I had to trim so much back. Next time I will use your solution spray instead for sure!
Thank you Luke
I haven't seen any Japanese beetles but the greenhouse millipedes were atrocious this year! They ate into almost every one of my berries before I could harvest them!
For a first-time strawberry grower, this was helpful. The japanese beetles were crazy this year, and they feasted on my strawberries and pole beans. I'll be ready for them next year!
Some kind stranger put their strawberry babies out on the sidewalk with a free plants sign. So I took them home and just started my very first strawberry bed. Thank you, kind stranger!
My strawberry starts I got from you in the Spring are ready to be prepared for the winter. I did notice some spots on them i will be treating them per your instructions. Such a timely video, thanks Luke.😊
😊
What about red leaves on the strawberries? Do I take them off like spotted leaves?
Wonder if MIgardener responds? Can I transplant small container strawberries to inground location?
I wish you could make a video addressing a problem I've been having and maybe others have too. Keeping strawberries dormant long enough to survive. We've had warm weather followed by frost, followed by warm weather, followed by frost in the last few years. My strawberries came out of dormancy and crawled out from under their straw blanket a couple of times and finally died. I could not keep them in dormancy. Any hints? I bought some from MI gardner and filled in, but missed having berries this year. Now I have healthy plants, and worry about the next round of crazy weather.
i was planning on collecting my new pups today…i planted 10 plants this spring i purchased from MiGardener and they went bonkers!!!! Im gonna be out there singing…. here a pup, there a pup, everywhere a pup pup! ol McStephens had a garden…
E I E I OOOOOO
thank you!!!
🌱👏
What about everbearing Seascape berries that are still producing? What should we be doing with those right now?
Always appreciate your videos! We are growing in MN in zone 5a and it’s nice to see content from other northern gardeners who understand the short growing season struggle.
How do you prepare them for over wintering? ❤
I need to give plants away! What type of soil would be the best to use?
I’m on my second batch of strawberries, I have my strawberries in pairs in my containers. Should I be letting them grow more than 2 if the container allows for more to grow???
My strawberry plants look thick, healthy and green just like yours, Luke. The surface of the bed is covered with a thick layer of dried dead strawberry leaves. Should I remove this cover of dead leaves or just let it stay in place?
This is my second year attempting to grow strawberries. I’ve been growing them in two of my Greenstalks. For some reason, I can’t get them to grow. Most of them have died off. I have both ever bearing and June bearing. I’m in Texas, so I’m not sure if it’s just the heat causing my strawberries to not grow good. Any suggestions?
Great explanation and presentation.
My strawberry plants are full and beautiful and sending out runners. BUT…I never got so much as one strawberry off of them. And hardly any flowers. My other bed has given me strawberries tho. They are 2 different kinds. What am I doing wrong?
My strawberry plant wont make strawberries 😂 second year too! Looks beautiful but all i get are runners to cut
It's helpful to know that I can trim the "umbilicals" from the new plants sooner than I thought was safe/healthy for the baby, and that it will help the mother conserve energy and improve production. Thanks!
Milky spore is bacteria, not fungus.
Hey Luke, how do you add more compost to the garden bed when they are filled out like that?I need to add more compost to my round raised bed but Im afraid that I may smother them.
How do you protect your plants from rodents when they are producing fruit. I tried netting and it was a pain to get in and look for strawberries. Any other suggestions that work?
Great video!!
Is it true that coffee grounds around strawberry plants help get rid of ants?
So, the runners… when do you plant them? Should you wait till fall when cooler?
I'd still put those in my compost pile. Fungal diseases come from the ground, they are always there (just like blight). Doesn't matter if your compost has any in it because your soil already does.
Rabbits ate mine like they were the most delicious thing ever!
Perfect timing!! I am growing my first strawberries and it was on my to do list to figure out how to propagate all these runners babies.
I now have too many plants, lol! 3 years ago a friend gave me 25 ever bearing plants.
This year my before weren't very good though. They got brown spots as they were getting ripe.😢
I looked all around my area here in NC for June bearing strawberry plants. None for sale anywhere, all everbearing.
Will the fungus from leaf spot go into the soil?
this was so inspirational. I went right out and checked my greenstalk strawberry patch (all 6 tiers) for questionable leaves (not too many) and for runner babies with tiny rootlets. cut off the babies and potted them up. Didn't bury deep as when we planted the mother strawberries we were told not to bury the crown. So I made "staples" out of the runner stems and gently secured the new babies with their tiny roots into soil using the "staples" to help them be a bit more secure till they get established.
thank you so much for the tips and for sharing your enthusiasm, garden knowledge and wonderful smile. 🙂
strawberry is rare in some place sir so they eat papaya fruit sir
Thanks for the info. I’m going to check the strawberry plants tomorrow.
Just in time! I always have a couple grasshoppers on my strawberries, are they are problem? I also just saw someone recommend swapping out the mother plants every couple years with the babies, as they get “weak” is that true? I have the ever bearing variety and have been having a trickle of strawberries all summer in MI!
