I am gardening for the first time and I bought a couple of strawberry plants from Lowe’s. Some days back I planted it directly in the garden soil and next day it flowered. I read on Reddit that I should snip the first few flowers so the plants could get big.
I just need to know if this looks OK? It gets full sun and I am watering every other days. I am not sure what I am doing really, so all tips for growing strawberries are welcome.
