Friends of ours are moving interstate. They have given me numerous plants. Amongst these plants, are at least ten containers of strawberries, so I guess that would be at least 20 strawberry plants.
I am keen to be successful with growing these, but I have no experience with strawberries.
I can't keep them out the back, as both dogs would soon learn that strawberries are there for the taking.
I will keep all ten pots out the front, as I have a large front yard.
Now, strawberry gardeners, please tell me, what is the best position for strawberries? Full sun? (Australian heat).
Or, morning sun & afternoon shade?
Do they require watering every day, bearing in mind that we have no rain.
Are they susceptible to any bugs in particular?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Oh my... i love strawberries... and i remember eating them while walking along the streets of Baguio... this is the only place in the Philippines i know that strawberries grow... because of the cold climate... i have never grown stawberries before so i am afraid i can't help you out... but i hope yours will thrive well... and show us a picture of those delicious straberries... once you are able to harvest a lot...

I have noticed a couple of strawberries developing already. When they are big & juicy, if I get that far, I will take a photo to show you.

Great. I am already looking at this website. I see that it says I need to put strawberries in the full sun.

are these annual strawberries i mean are they plants that will only last one season


myLot reputation of 98/100. jennybianca (5860)   ranked 6 out of 2,462 in gardening  1 year ago

To be honest, I dont know? I will have to ask the people who have given them to me. Thanks for pointing that out.


suzanne1970 (72)   ranked 1,271 out of 2,462 in gardening  1 year ago

if they are seasonal plants basically you need alot of sunshine and water them everyday put if they are not then it depends what your winters are like,here in italy i cover them in the winter with what they call here material not material,its white stuff that looks like material but it saves plants in the winter

Strawberries like sandy rich soil and need full sun. If you want to get creative you can buy some hanging baskets or get one of those terra cotta pots for herbs and strawberries. That way you will be able to grow a lot in a small space.

Slugs like strawberries. They like to eat out a small area about half the size of a marble and leave the rest in case you want to eat after them. LOL


myLot reputation of 98/100. jennybianca (5860)   ranked 6 out of 2,462 in gardening  1 year ago

I have moved them all to a position with full day sun. I will be seeing the people who gave them to me soon & I will ask if they are seasonal or not. Thanks for this info.

I think they are already in the appropiate pits. Not sure about the soil. I will check this. What can I do about slugs? Is there a bait?
