🍓🍓🍓 Wake up, strawberries!
Growing strawberries from a store bought berry is really easy. I took 2 berries, sliced the skin very thinly and laid the cut part down in a seed starting tray with a good seed starting mix (store bought). Really quickly they started to germinate under grow lights. Within 4 weeks they are in my garden doing great! Just make sure you like to taste if the berry you are using 😊
Thank you for sharing this with us 😊. 🍓
Good info as always, love.
I'm growing 26 Seascape strawberry plants in a GreenStalk tower, lots of green growth, flowers, and starting to fruit. Alabama zone 7B
I just put in 12 new plants and need to fertilize soon
I love this!❤
My wife and I were just talking about white strawberries. Seen them at sam's club. Did you ever grow or eat them ?
Can you use liquid miracle grow for fruits and veggies?
Kim, I have crates with strawberries but they have almost all died. I live in IL so the cold may be why??? Can they be revived??
This will be my second year growing strawberries 🍓!!
Thanks for the reminder to get my strawberry plants jump started! I made a milk crate tower similar to yours a few years back! Thanks for another great diy idea❤
Mine are just getting going.
I have tiny lil white winged moths that fly outta my berry plants. What are they and how do I get rid of them?
We had strawberries a few years back, but then I didn't know how to properly care for them and – well, you can guess the end of that story. We're trying again this year, but we're trying on a much smaller scale. I think this will be a better learning platform for me, and a far more manageable one. Fingers crossed!
Thanks, you are beautiful girl! 😸
Timing the fertilizer for my day neutrals did me in last year, creating lush leaf growth but small berries that got picked off by the birds anyway. What plant signals do you look for so you know when to reduce the nitrogen and increase the P and the K to get those plump luscious berries? Will the fruit benefit from more potassium vs phosphorous or is it vice versa? Thanks CaliKim.
Although I don't have a garden, I would love to watch you plant and harvest.❤️
It's great to see the strawberry tower still going strong 💪
If some of the crowns seem to be too far down in the planter and not able to get enough sunlight, can you somehow “pick them up” to add more soil underneath them and help them get closer to the sunlight? Or will this just damage the plant?
Yes, I’ll be growing strawberries with you!
I have 20 strawberry plants in a tower!🍓🍓🍓🍓
Did you get a hair cut? Looks lovely!
Something has been eating my strawberries right when they get ripe. I always assumed it was birds, but maybe it is bugs. Will definitely try the bug and slug treatment this year.
Your strawberry look healthy but my strawberry unhealthy , thank you for sharing gardening tip
Hi! I watched your video on six mistakes to avoid while starting seeds and bought all the things you recommended. Unfortunately, I can’t find lightbulbs that meet the requirements that are also light enough that they don’t weigh down the clamp light. What lightbulbs do you use???
Happy Easter to you guys!
How often are we supposed to put the fertilizer? Just found your educational channel! Thank you!
Hi, Kim! My friend, Debbie,told me about your channel. How many strawberry plants should I put in each crate?
This is my first year gardening and I’m growing strawberries and cherry tomatoes. Thank you for the helpful tips! I’ve subscribed so I can continue learning more 😊
Great video. My strawberries were three year old and weren’t looking good. I just bought some at the garden center. Is it best to let them sit outside to get acclimated for a few days, or is it okay or plant them this weekend?
I was thinking about getting lady bugs for my vegetable garden which is close to my strawberries. Will they be ok if I use the bug and slug pesticide?
