Plant strawberries in early spring for the best chance of a bountiful harvest.
Early Spring is Key:
Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter for healthy strawberry growth.
Soil Preparation
Aim to plant when temperatures are between 50-60°F (10-15°C) to promote strong root development.
Optimal Temperature
Choose a sunny spot, as strawberries need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Full Sunlight
Wait until the threat of frost has passed to prevent damage to young plants.
Avoid Frost
Early spring is the best time to transplant bare root strawberries into the ground or containers.
Transplant Bare Root Plants
Space plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
Maintain Spacing
