Strawberrys
« on: July 12, 2020, 12:38 »
Hello EveryOne
This is my first post and hopefully plenty more to come as time goes on.
I bought my wife who loves Strawberrys around 10 Maris Du Bois plants, and put them in a Strawberry Pot (the type with around 8 holes around it).They are doing really well.
So My question (and i know it could well be a bit early) IS HOW do i prepare them for over wintering,and do i have to still water and feed them ,but not so much,and will keeping them in the porch be suffice????.
Thank You for reading this,and hopefully looking forward to some replys.
Regards  tony

Strawberries are as tough as old boots and should be left outside in winter and shouldn’t need watering unless we have a very long dry spell. If you want an earlier crop, you can bring them into the porch after Christmas, but there is no need to if you’re happy for them to crop at the normal time.

No, just leave them open to the elements. Leaves may look a bit tired by the end of winter, but new fresh growth will then appear and you can pick off the dead ones.
