FREE: Strawberry - 20 seeds

The listing, Strawberry - 20 seeds has ended.

Strawberries are classified as June bearing, everbearing or day neutral.
They should receive full sun at least eight hours every day.
They adapt to nearly all areas of Colorado, even high elevations.
Sweet, juicy strawberries are among the easiest fruits for home gardeners to grow ― and one of the most productive, too. Strawberry beds generally are kept for three years.

Strawberries require at least eight hours of full sun each day of the growing season to produce at their maximum capability. Because a strawberry planting will remain in the same location for multiple years, locate them in an area that does not interfere with the annual garden cultivation.

When strawberries are planted after sod, grubs, which have been feeding undetected on the sod roots, divert their attention to the strawberry roots. Because there are fewer strawberry roots, a sizable grub population may cause severe damage. After a year out of sod, the grub population declines and strawberries may safely be planted.

The gardener generally has no choice as to soil type; however, a sandy loam soil with a southern exposure is ideal. Strawberries like a loose, moderately fertile soil.
