I'm planning to throw in a couple of raised beds for strawberries, but I'm looking for input on bed depths.

From skimming the internet it sounds like 8"-12" is fine, but I'm also seeing comments from growers saying 18" is optimal depth. I'm also debating on filling the beds hugelkultur style with tree limbs, compost, etc.

What's the general opinion on this from folks who have been growing strawberries for a while?

Yes, I have googled recipes. There are plenty of them. Many are kinda just variations of ice cream, cakes and similar. I guess I am now just looking for ideas. What do you do with strawberries?

I like using strawberries to jam, smoothies, cakes, yoghurt, outmeals and fruit salads. While it's yummy, I want to try anything new. Based on the recipes online I have been looking at, I'll likely try doing a tart, Eton Mess and a lemonade. Maybe my own ice cream (I am not too fond of the ones you can buy, but I imagine homemade ones may taste better).

Hi! I’m in northern Michigan and have been thinking of buying some strawberry plants to grow at home. I’ve grown them multiple times in the past, but now I’m on my own and my mom was the one picking what kinds we grew.

I most recently (2 years ago) found a hanging basket variety that grew from late spring to early fall (May-October) and really enjoyed them, but I don’t know what they were. 😭 I know o bought them at my local Meijer but beyond that I can’t tell you much more than that.

I’m looking for a variety that I can grow for as long of a season as possible, potentially even bringing some indoors over winter to continue to harvest (if at all possible), but will be just as happy with some that I can plant in a raised bed and keep for 2-3 years outside.

I make a lot of jam, as well as freeze them for baking through the winter. Right now, my research has led me to choose between the following, but I’d be open to more suggestions!

Portala San Andreas Albion *(this is the variety I’m leaning towards as it supposedly will be best in my conditions)

What a strawberry!!

Growing seascape strawberries and this runner made me laugh

What is everybody’s favorite strawberry variety to grow? Tried a few different ones last year and honestly wasnt impressed with any of them.

This plant seemed to be a takeoff of a Strawberry plant that had about 5 harvests, but now the plant has died and this has grown. Is this the rebirth of the bush or a weed that killed the bush?

The plants are kept under a grow light for 20 hours a day in the basement to help keep them warm. Is this what is causing the brown on the leaves? Or is it too cold down there for them?

Thank you in advance!

I live in a hostel and we don't have a fridge. I bought some strawberries, I want them to last atleast 2 days. Is this right way to store them?

How do i save my strawberries from root rot?Their leaves are drooping down and look like they’re gonna die.

Hello, I am growing this strawberry plant indoors, but I cant really tell when the berries are ripe, can someone tell me if this one is ripe and how long it takes for the berries to be ripe approximately?

Hey is this strawberry ripe? Since they are so small I struggle to see if they are ripe. Its an indoors plant.

Hello!

I was wondering why my strawverry plants produce smaller leaves now in autumn going into winter. It always grew quite big leaves. It's a fragraria ananassa. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

I have strawberry plants in 2 aerogarden bounty, and all of my fruits are deformed. Anyone know the reasons or suggestions, please? .

Would it be best to repot strawberry plant before or after winter? Basically, before I knew more about strawberries or plants in general, I planted 2 strawberry plants in a big pot. I would like to give them their own separate pots. But of course would like to minimize the risk of it not surviving transplant

I have strawberry plants in ibc wicking beds, and some of my strawberries go pale and mushy, and are inedible. Others are completely fine. Soil is moist but not soggy, straw mulch on top is dry. I'm in temperate Australia. Any help appreciated.

I started growing them in my garden a few months ago. Any tips? (╥﹏╥)

I've been obsessed with strawberries for a good long while so when i first thought of having a signature scent i decided i wanted to smell like a strawberry cake - particularly warm and sweet! currently i've been using bath and bodywork's strawberry snowflake scent for two years (it's a bit less intense than strawberry poundcake imo and smells nicer to me). On top of that, I just bought kate spade's original kate spade scent (i believe) and it smells just like strawberries! i've checked out a scent called noble epine that reminded me of cake a lot but for now i'm keeping my eye on it until i've made up my mind on whether it'll help me reach the scent i want! right now i've been thinking about how to maximize the warmth of my scent without making it overly sweet -- i'd be very happy to see tips on that :)
