Tussiemussie's Garden

Strawberries.

Genus: Rosa.

Species: Rosaceae (Rose) family.

For early strawberries plant in tower pots in a greenhouse, this year I picked the first ripe strawb's end of April, unheated g/house faces south.the garden ones started ripening 3 weeks later and still picking some late June..
Runners root easily when pinned down to make new plants.
If wet weather use straw to lift berries off the soil.
Mulch with compost early before growth starts, renew plants every three years
