Plant of the Week: Strawberries

June 18, 2011 – 11:31 am

Everyone knows strawberries are delicious. Not everyone knows they’re easy to grow. I started to grow them for the first time last year by buying three plants to pot up into one container. This year I gave away dozens of their offspring and still have a substantial personal collection. Choose an everbearing cultivar to ensure fruit from spring till late summer and plant them in full sun. The runners they send out will take root, giving you new plants and edible gifts to give away … or keep yourself busy making pies and shortcakes until 2012.
