Howdy Guys..i am from scotland and love spending time in the garden..I grow potatoes,raspberrys(Autumn bliss),gooseberrys and strawberrys..i am sort of a begginer to growing stuff though...I always seem to struggle to grow strawberrys though..I grow mine in pots and they seem to grow fine at the beggining then they seem to like just die on me.. I have about 10 pots and have just managed to get fruit from about 4 pots..What am i doing wrong guys..Any ideas?

Welcome to the vine Strawberry Patch - you now have a name to live up to!
As to the cause of your plants dying - did they dry out too much?Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Hi Jeanied,I don't think they dried out too much...I have always had a problem growing strawberry's..Maybe i should try growing them in the ground instead of in pots..Originally posted by Jeanied View PostComment

Welcome, Strawb!
As above I wondered about irregular watering - little and often until they start to flower and then more water and a potash feed is how I would do it... but since my dog ate all mine in pots this year I can't claim to be that successful either!!!The proof of the growing is in the eating.
Leave Rotten Fruit.
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.
Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!!
