[QUOTE="OffHand85, post: 5050296, member: 20107"] While I’ve been successful with most other common garden vegetables the strawberry has been my most difficult! I have 3 galvanized metal barrels I’m growing strawberries in for my wife, we planted 6 plants in each. All star variety was recommended by Bartlett nursery I trust them and used their plants. Same soil in each barrel, most of them died. A few did very well, so she buried the chutes that grew off each plant and by the end of the summer she had dozens of plants from the stronger ones in cups. Replanted them in the fall, they prefer cooler temps. The advice from Bartlett nursery was to let them turn purple with the colder weather then cover them in hay. Now they’re under a foot of snow! I’ll update in a few weeks after the thaw! she used a berry blend fertilizer mixed through the soil and sprinkled a cup per barrel every 30 days on top, covering in cypress mulch. [/QUOTE]
