You've encouraged me to try strawberries again. I had 4 plants about 3 years ago. I was so disappointed they didn't produce and those that did disappeared to bugs. I mentioned to my daughter they were alot of work and I only got 1-2 berries. She then let me know on her watering days she was the "bug" eating my berries! She loved them and never told me! I'm putting them back in garden rotation!

Rofl, My kids are picking this year because my foot is broken. I have to wondering if it is the same. The ones that make it in are huge, but slightly underripe, and we arent getting nearly as many as last year even though the section that has been most productive so far didn't produce at all last year.

I see recommendations all over the spectrum for strawberry fertilization. Some say fertilize lightly,a few times a year. Some say fertilize often. But one direction is consistent. Water regularly and consistently, do not let soil dry completely.

I love alpine strawberries, they're one of my favorite summer treats! We have a white variety that one of our old roommates gave us years ago, and this last winter I started a red variety from seed that was 11 years old! I wasn't really expecting them to germinate at all, but now I have a planter full of healthy little seedlings in the garden. Can't wait to taste them!

Sometimes variety matters a lot for taste maybe strawberries fall in this category since they are basically clones(crowns).

Gary, thank you for the strawberry video! I have a green stock vertical planter, my first one which I planted strawberry plants in this year pretty much all ever bearing. I had a lot of strawberries early on and they were looking great. Just want to confirm my thoughts based on your video, I thought that I needed to give them a good fertilizing in the spring so I actually used an organic granular fertilizer in each of the pockets. It seems like strawberry production stopped. I also may have been giving it a little bit too much water so I’ve gone to your recommendation of just checking frequently and if it’s drier than I’m watering otherwise I am, trying really hard to overwater. I’ve not done any liquid fertilizing and I won’t at this point since I gave a granular correct

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 23 күн бұрын

If the leaves are green and growing you probably dont need any more fertilizer. I havent noticed feeding effecting fruiting. If the plant isn't flowering, it just might be bast that time and it would start again.

Hi Gary, I'm in Maryland as well. This is my second season of seascape variety, growing in a tower. They're not very sweet. I've heard adding epsom salt can help. Any tips?

@BrickTop06 Ай бұрын

I would try to push it to the edge with water, as in not watering much before harvesting. I've had my patch for years and, when we've had rainy stretches in May and June they've not been as sweet. If the doesn't work might want to try a different variety

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Ай бұрын

It's a myth we can affect the sweetness. But I do think the taste better with a couple of days of no water before harvesting.

I have what I believe is leaf spot on my strawberry plants. Should I treat that? Also, you have mentioned hydrogen peroxide for fungal prevention or break out on tomato plants, etc.. Which do I use, baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. Thank you!

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Ай бұрын

You can use either. Just test spray first as it's a new spray on strawberries. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

Gary, strawberries seemed fine with hydrogen spray, now leaves are curling. Should I hold off on another spray 3 days later?

@orionsector Ай бұрын

In your experience, do you think the top watering strategy of the greenstalks work well? It seems to me that most of the water just runs out the bottom through the center column. I'm not confident the under tiers get watered well enough without hand watering them individually. What do you think?

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Ай бұрын

It is when it is cooler and plants are smaller. I water via the pockets as the plants get large. It's just the nature of growing vertically.

Bare with my pruning questions, if you will, as I’m very new to gardening… but in regard to Everbearing, should I just cut the flower off, or like almost the whole stem where it comes from? Is it still a runner if it’s not touching the ground and going upward? And should that be pruned too? I appreciate anyone responding ❤ I first started pruning just the flowers, but think I saw a video where someone pruned almost the whole stem where it came from and then did the same to mine without thinking about the consequences it could have. Regardless, I’m gonna take it as an experiment and learning experience like most of my gardening

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 28 күн бұрын

Well why are you pruning flowers off? I leave all mine. Would just let some plants go and watch them for your experiment. IF you want to remove flowers, I would remove the whole flower stem. Even if they are new plants I just let them grow. A runner will put out a solid 12 inch runner. There is usually a small plant on the tip. If you want new plants let them grow. If you dont, remove them. Good luck.

Lots of gardeners have those nice big towers, but you are the only one who says where to get them. I have asked some of them. I tried getting some on eBay, but they were itty bitty table top (about 6 inches tall for 3 tiers) and no good for anything. Amazon does not say what sizes theirs are, at least none that I could find.

I have one Greenstalk planter like his and have gotten a pound or so every few days. I'm in 7a about an hour east of Gary. A lady on another channel soaks them with 1/4 c. vinegar and 8 cups of water for 2 minutes, lets them dry 3 hours then places them in a mason jar in the fridge, stems in tact, and they're supposed to last for weeks. So far so good.
