My strawberries are already blooming and forming. I’m so excited last year I planted six strawberry plants and they’ve started growing babies and flowering. I’m gonna have lots of strawberries this year. I’m so excited.

@CaliKim29 2 месяца назад

Sounds great, Laurie!! HOW EXCITING!! And to think, YOU grew that!!! Nicely done. CK

@pattyfitz317 2 месяца назад

I just moved my three year old bed into the purple Smart Pots. They say plants don’t do well after 3 years and mine are doing great and producing. I learned how to grow berries with you CaliKim! Thank you!

@CaliKim29 2 месяца назад

That is awesome, Patty! Smart Pots have woven virgin wool fabric allowing both air and water into/out of the smart pots....I am so glad to hear that they are doing well AND producing after the transfer!! Your comment made me smile! I am honored to be a part of your garden. CaliKim

@ammorales1524 Год назад

Thanks Kim! I did exactly as you recommended. My ever bearing strawberries produced a lot of runners which I was able to save and this year, I gained nine new plants. Hope they produce a decent amount of berries to enjoy this summer. Thanks!

@jackrudden5970 Год назад

I’m going to be designating an entire 4x8 raised bed to strawberries next year.

@CaliKim29 Год назад

You really can't go wrong with homegrown strawberries! Great idea to add more strawberry space next year, Jack!

Oh, Ke, it truly is!! Do it, Ke!

@carolannspence8057 Год назад

I planted my 1st strawberry plant in a 20 gallon pot 2 weeks ago. I’m seeing runners but no strawberries. Your grow tips were helpful, looking forward to eating my berries ❤. Thanks for your tips.

@CaliKim29 Год назад

Glad it was helpful, Carolann! If you want your plants to produce strawberries this year, cut off the runners so all the energy goes into those delicious berries! After the berries are done producing for the season, allow the runners to grow and root them for free plants. Enjoy!

@Hellohellohello7 Год назад

I’m growing in green stock towers. Thanks for the info. I d Isn’t know about feeding them that oftEn!! JusT ordered the worm casting concentrate. Thanks!

Hi Kim! Do you use the same plant cocktail on your berries as you do with your tomatoes? I love that good dirt plant food and am wondering if I can just use the same mix across the board with all plants. I don’t see why not but wanted to ask what you do in your garden ☺️

@jackiehorsley9263 Год назад

Kim your strawberry's look so yummy I am growing strawberry's In container's I am just starting to get berry's myself

@orientalmagitheartofninku7888 2 месяца назад

I just bought some strawberries today so you will be helping me with that too. I'm so excited. This video has excellent information and more ideas for me to get my strawberries started. What I have done for now I have transplanted my strawberries from a 2 gallon pot that I bought it in to a 5-gallon bucket. I plan to increase this strawberry plant but I must do some more learning. So I will have this video on repeat God Willing.

@CaliKim29 2 месяца назад

Wonderful! Glad to hear that this video was helpful to you!! Yes, you are on the right path, continue nice and easy, as you go! GREAT work out there!! Thank you for subscribing! CaliKim

@juliekovach9784 Год назад

How do you give food to the lower crates in the crate tower? Do you disconnect the irrigation tubing temporarily, lift the crates off to feed the lower crates, then put them back together?

@AllieGlover-pv3yf 20 дней назад

My strawberry plants all pooped out this summer. My bareroot strawberries did not grow. I did get 2 strawberries out of the Baker Creek plantstarts but they too had issues with our Texas summer this year. I will continue to feed and water the roots in case they decide to regrow this fall. I've never been very successful at growing strawberries but the 2 that did ripen only encourage me to keep trying.

@Mary-zj9jz 4 месяца назад

same but i did have one plant come back this year! going to buy more this year

@Katydidit 3 месяца назад

I am also in Texas. The first year you plant them you need to take off the blooms to help them establish their root systems. A little root stimulator a month after planting also helps. You will have strawberries every year after... it is so difficult to do that I know!!! However your patience will be rewarded!!

@theapopkagardener2485 Год назад

Beautiful hanging baskets. What are those beautiful blue flower plants with the strawberries? I would love to grow them. Thank you for the information 😊

@simplysourdough5444 22 дня назад

Great ideas thank you. Don;t you have any birds at your place? 😂

@CaliKim29 21 день назад

Not domestic birds, if that's what you mean? Yes, we have birds all over! Sometimes they eat my seeds, but it's not too bad. We have small tub/fountains, sometimes they come in and drink and cool off in there, it's fun to watch - CaliKim

@jsfarmgirl Год назад

Hi Kim, really love your videos. You have such great knowledge, it's so helpful. A question about fertilizing strawberries. You say every 7 to 10 days. If it's rained for a few days before the 7 to 10 days do you still do it?

@CaliKim29 Год назад

Hi Sandy, yes I do, as they still need the feeding, but wait til you would normally water so your soil isn't waterlogged. Enjoy your berries!

@SerenaLongchallon 20 дней назад

@alaexanderhawkins6324 4 месяца назад

@stephenmiller8556 3 месяца назад

What type of fertilizer would you put in these? I just got some plants from a lady out in Middleburg Florida I know nothing about them so you're my first lesson.

@CaliKim29 3 месяца назад

I would try Slow-Release Fertilizer as it provides a steady supply of nutrients over time. It should say that right on the packaging at your local nursery center or box store nursery center.And/or Organic fertilizers they improve soil structure and promote microbial activity. Hope this helps, Stephen. Keep me posted! CaliKim

@tdhtran 2 месяца назад

Living in MN when it’s really cold in the winter, how do I care for strawberries if I grow them in pots or hanging baskets ? Do I have to take them inside ?

@CaliKim29 2 месяца назад

Definitely doable with some care. Choose Cold-Hardy Varieties - you research this. Also, In late fall or early winter, after the plants have gone dormant, you can prune them back to remove any dead or damaged foliage. Provide protection BEFORE the winter sets in. Move them to a more sheltered location, such as against a south-facing wall or near the house, where they can benefit from the warmth radiating from the building. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base of the plants to insulate the roots and protect them from extreme cold. Make sure to water your strawberry plants adequately throughout the fall, but reduce watering as winter approaches. Bringing them indoors for the winter. A garage, shed, or unheated porch can serve as a suitable overwintering location. Make sure the plants still receive some light: a window or supplemental grow lights. Monitor for Pests and Diseases! Please thumbs up the video and subscribe if you have not already. Thank you for watching and commenting. CaliKim

@jimmyboy2165 Год назад

Does anyone know what the red really small crawling bugs are that I just got this year are?? You can see them with your naked eye but they are extremely small. Ive never got them before but i did this year. They are definitely red and I want to say they are some sort of a spider but i don't know. I'm thinking maybe ladybugs would take care of them I think I will buy some from buckerfeilds but figure I'd ask here.

@Fred.pSonic Год назад

Sounds like what I had on my squash last year although these spun webs, moved fast and looked more like brownish-red dust. If so you might have red spider mites. A heavy dose of neem oil mixed with castile soap spray might work. Try 4 tbsp of each per gallon of water, good luck Jimmy.

What is the drip size for each strawberry plant each week, 1 gal or 2 gal drippers for 1 hour each week?

@CaliKim29 2 месяца назад

It has been so long that I had to go back look this up! I use DIG Products from Home Depot: 1/4" tubing with built in drip emitters every 6" with a .65 GPH flow rate. Mine are set to go off daily, for 15 mins. (80 degree temps). Adjust your frequency dependent on your weather. Can I say Thank You for subscribing and that I sure hope you are learning tons from the channel! One other thing you can do that would really help my channel is to hit the thumbs up button under each video that you watch, please!? Tell me about your garden, where you are and what you are growing? Again, thank you for following - CaliKim

@Hellohellohello7 Год назад

What % shade cloth do you recommend?

@CaliKim29 Год назад

Hi Mary, I use anywhere from 40-60% depending on how hot it is. Link is in the video description. Have a great weekend!

@VladAuTravel Год назад

You are lucky, in Australia, we have big bird problem, we can't just grow strawberry just in mid of garden, this bloody birds will eath everything, we can't grow berries, also birds dig all soil around and it's so difficult to sow any seeds. each inch of the garden soil should be covered but it looks bad, like it is'nt garden at all...

@michelerichard5523 2 месяца назад

Im confused about this fertilizing strawberries. I’ve watched a few videos on strawberries and you are the only one that says to fertilize every 2 weeks and to use high nitrogen. Others say todo it only once in the spring and once in the fall after harvest is complete. Nitrogen will give mostly green growth and few berries because they need higher P & K. 🤷‍♀️

@CaliKim29 2 месяца назад

Hi Michele - sorry for the confusion. To clarify, I feed my container/hanging basket berries every 2 weeks as I mentioned in the video, but when they're flowering and fruiting, I"ll only feed them worm tea. At the beginning of the season and after they are done producing, or after a heavy pruning, they"ll get N along with the worm tea to help them grow more leaves. Hope this helps!
