Planting and Care
  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for your strawberry plants, ensuring they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  2. Prepare your pots or raised bed by filling them with a good quality potting mix, leaving a few inches from the brim.
  3. Gently remove each strawberry plant from its nursery container and plant it in the prepared soil, making sure the crown of the plant is level with the soil surface.
  4. Water the newly planted strawberries thoroughly, ensuring the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  5. Feed your plants with a balanced fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and fruit production.
  6. Protect your strawberries from pests and birds by using netting or other deterrents as needed.
