They are ready for the spring

Sounds cool. When I was a child my mom had a HUGE patch of strawberries. the area she had them in was about 100 feet by 200 feet. Like I said HUGE. I got sick of strawbeey jelly and strawberry jam. But now that I am growing them I want even more than she had. but that's not going to happen as I don't have the room nor the time for much more in my garden.

No,my friend
I never received a PM from you

What are the Swedish ones? I've never heard of a Swedish variety. I am 100% 3rd generation Swedish American. The kind we have are ready to pick in June through first part of July. After that they are pretty much over with.

In swedish we call it smultron.
I think you can search for it with google or wikipedia

That's interesting. I'll search it out!

Have a great day

These are planted in a skinny area between my garage and fence. it's about 3 feet wide only. I am fencing it off this summer so Buster won't use that as his toilet. it will mwean more yard cleaning of his mess but I want this area to thrive as much as possible. It gets the morning and afternoon sun till about 4 or so. So it will have plenty sun throughout the spring and summer. Mine seemed to do well enduring the winter here. With Buster running in the yard the critters tend to eat out front on my lilies.

When I was outside picking up Domingo's landmines, I wandered over to the strawberry patch just to see if any of the plants were peeking thru yet and guess what I saw? Yeup, you guessed it. They are not only peeking but starting to pop up completely thru the leaves. I came back inside and grabbed my camera for a quick shot. brrrrrrr....it's 42 outside. I'm staying in rest of the day where it's warm.

I set my chairs out on my front deck this afternoon. It was nicer than expected. Windy but about 50 degrees. Mine are popping through ice and snow right now as well.

Because strawberries send out shoots with a new plant on it, I'm not sure how many you can keep in one pot. You might try a long type planter and see how many you can grow in that.

They sell hanging planters with climbing strawberries at WalMarts.

The whole idea is to do this as cheaply as possible without having to buy more pots, etc.

I do have this one pot (and it has strawberries painted on the outside!) so I thought I'd try tucking a plant or two in there, just not sure how many would fit and if it would be worthwhile to do just the one pot full.

From what I've read, you can put one plant per opening, then a couple more on top.

Maybe I'll give it a try - we'll see. Depends on the cost of the plants.

I have no idea if these are everlasting as I had just a few plants and maybe 4 or 5 berries last year. With they way they've spread I'll let ya know if they are regular or everblooming.

Yeah the plants send shoots out all year long. You can guide these shoots by hand setting them in a cleared out area for them to take root. I am training mine this way each spring now. Thanks also.

It's cold here from like Novemeber through April. They survive the winters well here blooming in June or July depending on the weather as well. The fresh ones from the garden are WAY better than store bought.

In my 5 years owning this house and gardening I have never added anything to my garden as far as fertilizers etc. Just plant them, weed them, and water them is all I do. I hate chemicls.

You need a good sized area that is cleared of weeds and need to weed them often or they have a hard time spreading. We can give ya a couple plants this fall from the batch here.

I never say no to free plants.

Strawberries are the one fruit I have that really needs water a lot. Yes mine bloom in June or July usually. Then the fruits in August. So late Summer for some fruit.

Oh,and YES that is snow and ice still in the
yard that the strawberries are poking through.
