More Information on Caring for Strawberries

April 19, 2012 by Jeanne

strawberry

I’m a blogger for Mainline Gardening, an online gardening community, and today’s post expands on my tips for strawberry garden care posted earlier this week.  My own strawberry patch is chock full of flowers now but no berries.  I feel like coaxing, “Here, pollinators!

They spring up unbidden, often in places we didn’t expect—cracks in sidewalks, corners of compost piles, or nestled beside a stone foundation, like the vibrant coleus seedlings growing near my deck shown in these pictures. These botanical freeloaders aren’t weeds; they’re plants that have reseeded themselves…
