To save money on soil, you can fill the bottom with your fall leaves, grass clippings, etc. it will compost in the bottom and feed your plants. You will see some shrinking of the soil as it decomposes, just add more dirt to the top next season. Love me some strawberries!!! Good luck y’all! Sending garden blessings!!

I have anxiety and depression that really ruins the quality of my life and I love putting your videos on to distract my mind. I just love you. You are the one who got me into gardening a couple years ago.

Laura can you do a video on how to winterize and prune blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.

To help keep track of the new plants/runners the 2nd and 3rd year I use the colored twist ties found on bread bags. Example: Yellow goes around the 1st yr runners the mother plants get a red one. Keep track of the colors codes over the years on an index card noting the type, yr and how many of each :-)

I need more beginner videos lol!! I just bought a new house and I want to make a garden out back for veggies, fruits, and fresh flowers to pick! I love this🥰

When less berries are growing collect them in a freezer bag put them in the freezer. When you collect enough to do jelly/jam, make desserts or sauces thaw them. Be sure to trim the top, wash them also before freezing.

Oh my gosh, I didn't even know strawberries had different color blooms! So fun! 💟 great video Laura!

Can you show us how to plant veggies like: - Baby Kale - Cut & Come lettuces - Spinach - Bell Peppers - Eggplants 🍆 - Zucchini - Onions 🧅 - Beets And herbs like: - Cilantro - Basil I have seeds for all and would love seasonal guidance on how to start them, transplant, & care for them throughout the season. I would love to see more of those types of videos if possible. I’m just not in a position to do landscape designed type plantings where I currently live. But I am allowed to do container gardening on a medium-sized back patio. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE FRUIT, VEGETABLE, & HERB VIDEOS! 🥬, 🍆 , 🌶 , 🧅, 🌿, 🍓

Cha Ching Cha Ching. I am so jealous because she spends a small fortune on her garden, most likely more than I earn in a year. I still love watching just so I can dream. Keep up the good work.

THIS is the kind of video I've been missing on your channel! Thank you for going back to your "roots" and providing an educational and beautiful video like in the past. The lifestyle vlog format you've taken on in the past year is nice, but I do greatly miss the detailed explanations, the educational aspect, and the how-to's for gardeners. Best wishes! Thanks again!

I love how the math was confusing. Keeps it real, makes me feel at home. Lol. Thanks for the video it's easy to watch!

I just love watching her video's and listening to her explanations

You had me at beginners, love this video thank you,

That spot looks absolutely perfect for a picnic

IM SO GLAD YOU’RE DOING THIS!!! I have been trying to figure out how to best plant my strawberries!!!

You are a WONDERFUL teacher. Thank you loads, for all of your efforts - you, Aaron, and Benjamin.

Setting up a new garden at my new house and cannot wait to have strawberries again. Last time I had them growing my son was just under 2, now he is 3 and he remembers eating them from the garden and is so excited to have them again. On that note, when you mentioned not wanting a swing set, what about adding little pockets throughout your garden for Benjamin? That way he can have an insight area to play wherever you are working. Swing hanging from a tree, little tub (just like the one in the video) with dirt just for him to play and drive his cars in, a little sand table tucked in somewhere else...tons of ideas. Like a secret little kids garden. That way nothing is too in your face and also easily dismantled when he grows out of it or changed as he grows. It doesn't have to be tacky, brightly colored toys either. You can get creative and make the spots out of stuff that fits in well. Like the teepee you created for him...stuff like that tucked in throughout the property. Just a thought. My son loves his swing set but it is the swing and sand table he likes the most. Our vegetable garden is out of sight from his swing set so I have left a small 3x3 raised bed available for him to dig in in my garden so he stays there to play while I work and he loves it.

Just letting you know that you’ve inspired me to create a patio garden. I just bought strawberries from my local nursery. Should be here any day now. Looking forward to planting and taking my mind of everything going on!

Just what I needed to watch Laura. Thank-you so much. I planted my container strawberries last weekend & think I’m on the right track.👍

I’m so glad you mentioned the info about the bare root strawberries. I wouldn’t have known to prevent runners and blooms the first year!

I love how natural your videos flow. the spontaneity and rawness of the editing makes it more fun each time. 🍓 I love strawberries baked with pastry or made into a jam. 🍓🍓😍 Bless this channel.

Girl you read my mind! I looked up your channel and strawberry planting last week and watched all the videos you already had out. Then I moved my galvanized tub to a sunnier spot in my backyard. Just waiting for some warmer weather here in Michigan so I can plant some strawberries! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, you are a joy to watch.

Love your advise and your decision not to let advertisers dictate to your channel!!!

Drip Line = Brilliant!! Thanks so much, lady. Love your videos.

I love strawberry containers. Benjamin is going to love it too!! Those arbs are looking incredible topped the fence already!! Can't wait for an update video!

I would love an update video as the summer goes on!! Love your channel Laura!!

I just planted my flower pots today Very excited to dabble in fruits and veggies next.

Your gardening ideas are always just great! I especially love the pots and materials you've chosen for planting strawberries. I will follow every step exactly as you've presented as possible. Thank you very much!

OMG..I never comment on KZfaq, but I love love love your knowledge and your amazing garden. The black picket fence is amazeballs!!

I had no idea strawberry’s had different color blooms!!! 😍 I had no planned on doing a crop garden this year but I may do some container planting.... I really love growing food!

This is exactly what I needed. I always wanted to grow strawberries

Yay! Thanks for doing this video. I've always been curious how to grow them. Containers are ideal right now for where I am. Thanks!

Great! So, we have a small, well established strawberry patch (ground). The "runners" have easily rooted and created new (Free) strawberry plants. Love that propagation was mentioned....there are so many plants that are featured that can easily be propagated without spending any money. 👍🌱

Yay! I have more strawberry plants coming from PW today, so this is very timely! I love the way they look in the galvanized tub, and can only imagine what it will look like when they grow. I may be stealing this idea for a few of them! 😉 Thank you so much and please stay safe & healthy! 🙌💚🍓

Thank you so so much for posting this. I am about to plant my strawberries for the first time and this is so helpful.

I’m glad I saw this video. I’ll be planting strawberries next week. Thanks Laura🙏🏾

You spoke a little bit about how you are glad to see people trying to be more sustainable. Are there things you have changed in your gardening routine to be more sustainable? I know Monty Don talks about changes he is making in his garden every once in awhile and I find it very helpful and inspiring. Would love to see more videos focusing on this subject🐝

I'm going to try this with my baby girl, she loves strawberries 😍

Oh my gosh you are wonderful to watch. Very relaxed, calming and easy going with the planting. Makes me feel calm about planting and taking care of things. And very informative. Answering all the questions I’d ask. 🙏

I just found your channel and I have been missing out! Thank you, you are amazing and so helpful with a new person in the planting world! 💙

Great tutorial Laura! I also like to grow strawberries in containers and I don't clip the fruit off first year and I have never had any problem. I have done a video on setting up a strawberry tower recently if anyone would be interested to check out.

Hi Laura, my mouth is watering for strawberries now! Will you please post which tackle box you are using to organize your drip irrigation?

Beautiful strawberry plants! Really like the tub container also!

I would LOVE to see more ideas of things we could plant in containers like this. If you’ve got any other veggies or fruit you grow in these kind of tubs.

As Benjamin would say, “yum”!

This was all so so helpful but I got lost about the drip irrigation. I live in Michigan with a small yard and was hoping to find a way to grow a lot of produce in small areas

Thank you for making this video. Your love of gardening and teaching others is wonderful. Will let you know how my projects comes out. Thank again!!

I'm glad I stumbled into this video! I've been growing strawberry seeds for the past month. I know this video is for mature strawberries, but it gives me insight about them in the future! I wouldnt had known to cut the runners for a few years.

I just sent away for strawberry plants. 25 bare root ones. Oh my I'm going to need a few more containers. Thanks Laura for sharing this video. 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 🌻💗🌻💗

I hope you show them to us when they are ready for harvest :-)

This is easy stuff. What I find difficult is the flower combinations you make. How beautifully you blend colours and texture together. For me that is amazing.

I have only ever seen strawberry flowers with white petals. This kinda blows my mind. Great info!

I just found your channel and I’m so happy I did! I love how you break it all down for us beginners 🍓🤗

Thank you, Laura! I got 4 strawberry plants this year and I'm excited to watch them grow. Love the straw idea...will be adding that. Maybe that's why they're called "straw"berries. :-D

What timing ! I just planted some strawberries as well ! ♥ This is awesome

Strawberries are so versatile. Not to mention yummy! I love the top dress of straw.💚🍓

This is such a great idea - never thought of growing in this kind of container! This will be a great activity to do with my kids -they're going to love this!

Hi Laura 👋🏼 I was wondering if you were going to come up with an ‘offical’ name for your new land. I know you have names for the other parts of your property so seeing you had an idea for your new area? Maybe you could do a vote or something? Also please stay safe.. we need you in our lives 🙂

I know this is a 3 yr old video - I’m doing strawberries this yr - tons of them! Thank you! I’m following your guide on what to do! We love strawberries & they’re a healthy snack/desert!

That container turned out so pretty. Benjamin will love picking the berries.

Hi Laura! Can you talk about how to overwinter these if we were to plant a container of strawberries like this?

That tub looks like the perfect height for Benjamin to pick strawberries!!! =D Thank you for the information... now I know the best way to plant my strawberries!

I do love strawberries! I am planning on growing this year's crop in containers & I am excited! I have grown strawberries in the ground & that is a job! This way I can control the growth!! Thank you planting that idea!!! 😍👍🍓🍓

I love this video. You explain everything so well. Thank you!

Hi can you please show us a video later on to prepare for colder seasons once summer is over? I’d love to see how you prepare it all later on :) thanks!

Tried this, made video not as good but it was fun ! I simply loved it ! Great idea, and you're very informative. Thanks to you i have my own strawberries in container and also my laundry basket turned strawberry planter 2 !!! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

Thanks for this tutorial @Garden Answer, it's very important to learn about how to grow strawberries.

So far this video is the best at explaining how to do this! 🍓

I'm going full rabbit poo tea this year for fertilized. You should get buns!

I’d like to try this with my students at school but I don’t understand how the drip tube/watering works. Could you please explain a little more? Thank you. 😊

I will love a follow up on these. We are tagging them as favorite for next years garden if they do well. I’m so excited. I plan on letting them be a little surprise for my 3 year old granddaughter when she comes to visit. She loves strawberries and is just now showing interest in what I am doing outside. By next year, I expect her brilliant self to be a full fledged gardener! Lol. Yea right. Anyway, thanks for posting. God bless.

I used some small rocks in mine to help drain and it worked wonderfully!

Great information! Question regarding feeding, why do you work in feed throughout the whole pot rather than just the top portion? Do plants (flower and food) benefit from having feed underneath their roots if they can’t yet reach it? I thought the feed would water itself down the pot so have never thought to work it below the surface

Now I want to plant some strawberries in containers! Thanks for the inspiration! One question: how would you over winter the strawberries in containers? Do you need a cold frame to keep them from getting too cold or freezing through the winter? I'm in Zone 4b.

That looks so sweet and beautiful.

All I want is a big garden w herbs, veg, fruit, flowers 😍

This is so inspiring; I would love to grow our own berries this summer! I know you don't have deer in your area but they are a big problem here. Do you have any suggestions for those of us who would like to grow strawberries in containers but are also dealing with deer?

Hi Laura, I have a question regarding the fruits,like the different colors of the flowers, will there be any difference in the fruit that the plants bear? I mean to ask if the strawberry from pink bloom plant will taste/ look different from the red bloom plant? just curious. Thank you for your videos and answering all our questions 🙌🏻👍🏻 they are very helpful 💙 Im glad to be part of Garden Answer🌺 😊

Thank you so much! Your beginner videos are so clear and informative! Even showing and naming the pieces in your irrigation setup, describing the hole spacing and flow rate - that was an aside, but contained so much information itself! I have a new pink strawberry still in its pot, and trying to figure out where to put it. I think I can do a container like yours!

I just received my PW berried treasure strawberries today and super excited. I planted them in a wooden 4 tiered planter hope that is enough space as this variety grows up to 16" tall. This video was right on time! Thanks!

Also, strawberries have shallow roots, so you don't have to fertilize the bottom of a deep container.

Laura, do these strawberries winter well outside at your zone? Or do you leave them in the green house during winter?

Would love to see more of the veggie/fruit-growing videos!

Thanks Laura. I'm growing strawberry in container this year. I used to have in the ground but I pulled them 3years ago because they over take my whole garden patch..👍❤🍓🇨🇦

Great video!! Thank you! Just wondering if the metal container leaches anything into the soil that might not be good for you? Another project I'd like to do. ;)

This must be so rewarding when you live somewhere with sun. In Scotland, I plant 40 and hope 3/4 with survive the first winter.

I’m trying this girl!! You’ve once again made it look so easy!! Lol Thanks❤️

This was so helpful. I'm thinking of putting some in my hay racks this year. Never have grown food, but thought this would be awesome looking as well as have some delicious fruit.

You have perfect timing! I bought some bare root everbearing strawberries and have been hesitant to plant them. This video has motivated me to plant them today. I just have a question about wintering over. Can I leave them out in their container similar to yours in zone 5b/6a or should I put them in my unheated garage until next spring? Thank you!

Beautiful plants thank you for introducing them and for explaining the different types. For the straw would you have to replace it or add more during the season or at the end or beginning of the next season? Thanks I love the container idea!

Thank you for this video. Just in time for my husband to watch and plant his strawberries. 🦋

Excellent insight for growing strawberries

Do you have a video on thi water drip - I don’t understand what your doing - beginner 😔. Thank u

Cute idea!! Question though.. - I've been reading to not grow any berries in any metal because it leaches into the food.. Do you believe otherwise? Or is the risk so little that you're not concerned? Also, I notice on the blueberries you planted - you used soil acidifier (not berry tone) in a clay pot. Is there a reason for that? Thanks for all the great information - as always!

Perfect timing for this video!

I had a tractor tire at one point and completely loved it. Also filled the bottom with sod ,leaves, grass, etc. Then put compost and they did amazing.

I’m so going to try this. Just went to proven winners site. Can’t buy there hopefully I can find them in the store.

How do u recommend keeping the birds and squirrels away? Netting/mesh?

I’ve been watching you for so long, but I live at my parents house and I don’t have much space for gardening. I’m moving to my own place at the end of the month and I’m so excited to plant different things! I’m planning on English Lavender, tomatoes, an herb box (maybe cilantro, basil, and thyme. I already have Rosemary), mint, lettuces, and strawberries!

So, I find this channel as a actually cool amd calming cooking outlet for myself. 🤪🤗. Thank you!
