r/strawberry

Omg I had no ideas strawberries could taste so good, I think this will have to become a yearly occurrence! Any tasty ideas on how to eat these??🍓

Its my first time growing strawberries!! I got these plants when they were tiny, i still haven’t pruned anything off myself, but something else is…. Now im trying to figure out:

1. should i cut the stems where it bloomed and got bit?
2. if so how far should i cut?
3. what is causing this? (they were doing rlly good a few days ago but i left for 2 hours and came back to to most of them freshly gone.)
4. should all these be pruned back anyway so that the plant gets bushier since theyre still fairly young?
   😅 LOL! lots of questions but i want my berriesss haha. its okay if they cant all be answered <3

Bought some 5" copper mesh roll and attached it to my raised bed using the top bolt with some overhang as shown. This is my first year growing strawberries, will this been enough of a deterrent to keep out the slugs? Any other suggestions or ideas?

I have these very bushy strawberry plants and was wondering if I should split the ones that look crowded before summer hits, or should I wait until fall?

I have 6 strawberry plants with varying degrees leaf issues. This one has the worst symptoms. what could be causing the brown & crispy edges that slowly kill the entire leaf? it is still producing new leaves.

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.
Ps. I am based in Greater Chicago Area

Strawberry patch to date
We have harvested 50 lbs and it’s just getting started here in zone 6a.

We have 3 50 rows some rows did better than others in the overwintering, we will probably use a row cover on them next winter to help insulate them.

We pull and root tubers from one half of the row each fall too keep half the berries in full production but this is our first year

Something has been munching on the leaves of my new plants. I think it was pillbugs so I put some potatoes out. I did get some but not a lot. 5 in total at this 1 plant. The other 3 traps I set out have nothing but they have similar damage to the leaves. Is it slugs?

Can anybody tell me what's eating my strawberries? This was a full sized ripening fruit last night, but I checked this morning and it's pretty much gone. I've noticed this one other time with another one of the fruits. I've also noticed a couple of the leaves have been nibbled on. This is a new set up for me as I previously grew them in hanging pots, but I never had this problem with those. These are in an elevated planter and I've sprinkled diatomaceous earth around the plants, probably not enough since it was my first time using it. Any help is welcome!

Those spots were not there a couple of days ago. Should I be worried? Can it spread to my other strawberries plants? Help! 👀

It’s been raining a lot these past few days. Zone 8 - Switzerland. 🇨🇭

They are growing on the lawn and will be moved. Is it possible to save them? Thanks for your advice!

New gardener here and I’m worried about this strawberry plant. It was replanted 2 weeks ago(I’m in zone 7). The leaves are all leaning over and I actually let a runner take root next to it. Did I make a mistake doing so? You can see the runner more clearly in the third picture. I’d appreciate any advice

Brand spanking new to growing strawberries. I am in zone 7b, and I’ve had a lot of success growing tomatoes, eggplant, peppers. They are being kept in the sunniest part of my backyard, and the soil is staying moist, I don’t want to over water them. Any advice on how to grow successful fruit? I’ve already cut off the first flowers that began to grow, should I cut off the second ones as well?

The strawberry plants i found were all tiny & picked over. I hope what we got produces delicious strawberries 🍓

Plus a bonus rhubarb picture because I love the color!

6 strawberry plants, zone 9a, North Florida

Watering every 1-2 days, when needed. Fertilizing with Prefect Plants Strawberry Fertilizer 8.8.8 every 2 weeks per directions on label.

I've had 3 harvests from my strawberry plants. My last yield was great, although, I thought the strawberries were a little on the smaller size; I thought that might be because I'd moved them from containers to a planter.

This incoming batch are tiny, and either ripening in odd ways or rotting before ripening. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!
