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.
