About Strawberry
Strawberries are one of the most satisfying fruits to grow at home — picked ripe from the garden they are incomparable.
Plant crowns at soil level — too deep rots the plant too shallow dries it out. June-bearing gives one large harvest; everbearing gives smaller harvests all season. Remove runners unless you want more plants.
Gardening in British Columbia
BC has dramatically different climates. The mild rainy coast (Zone 7-9) allows near-year-round growing. The interior is semi-arid (Zone 5-7) with hot summers and cold winters. One of Canada's most productive growing regions.
