Plant strawberries in early spring. Water them often through July. Do not plant them where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, or okra were planted the previous year. There is a disease that sometimes attacks these plants that will also attack strawberries. When planting, make sure that the roots are spread apart, and not tightly packed in a small hole. The plant will spread faster if the blossoms are removed so that more runners can be produced. The second year, allow the buds to stay so that fruit can be produced. Because strawberries have shallow roots, they should be fertilized during the growing season.
Container:
1 Quart (8 Count)
When to Plant:
Early to late spring
Finish:
1 Quart - 4-6 weeks
1 Gallon - 6-8 weeks
Notes:

50-60° F
Soil PH:
5.8-6.5
EC (What is EC?):
2.0-3.0 pour through method

Vernalization:
Vernalization is beneficial but not required.
Pests & Diseases:
To avoid crown and root rots it is recommended to plant at crown level and avoid excess watering.
Potting & Timing:
Plant bare root plants with the crown slightly above the soil surface and top roots ¼ inch below. Plugs should be planted even with the soil line.
Moisture:
Moderate moisture.
Avoid watering late in the day so that foliage will be dry through the night.
Planting Level:
Crown slightly above soil surface with top roots ¼ inch below.
Lighting:
Full sun.
Everbearing varieties are daylength neutral.
Grower Tips:
Avoid J-rooting by spreading the roots out evenly in the container. Roots may be trimmed lightly to fit the desired container.
Plant 2 PPP in 1 quart containers and 3 PPP in 1 gallon containers when using bare root. Baskets may require 5-7 PPP of either plugs or bare root.
