Grow Strawberries in Containers
No matter where you live, you can probably find some room to grow a batch of delicious, succulent strawberries this spring. These are always the first fruits we pick in the growing season and they last through the fall. Strawberries are wonderful!
For an in depth look at how to grow strawberries in all kinds of containers, see this article from the Royal Horticultural Society (those Brits really know their gardening stuff!). Royal Horticultural Society - Publications: The Garden
One of the newer ideas in the area of container growing is that of the grow bag. Grow bags have been used in the greenhouse and nursery industry for a long time, but are now catching on with home gardeners. This is basically a poly bag which can be filled with a potting soil and then planted. They are great because they can be used over and over. Just Google "grow bag" and you will find lots of information and websites that sell them. Here is one ingenious company that advocates hanging the grow bags! That will take up even less space. Grow Bag Jr.
Now you have no reason why you can't grow a luscious crop of strawberries this season!
