This is roughly the harvest every other day. Already have a gallon freezer bag full. No complaints here.
Carrots and peppers were kind of a wash last year so we just let the strawberries run rampant. They’re happy as hell and the fruits are have gotten bigger as the plants matured. The left side was clear enough to put beans where the tomato plants used to be. I was planning on skipping tomatoes as well because they got absurdly large and bent their cages, but some of the fallen ones must have seeded because we had 3 little tomato plants shooting up. They’re in separate pots now and hopefully that’ll be more manageable.
How do you get strawberry plants to produce so much?? My plant has produced a total of 15 strawberries over the course of 3 years. I want a harvest like yours. Maybe I need to get more plants?
Honestly no idea. We got a bundle or two that ended up being about 12 individual plants, tossed in a bunch of soil and mixed fertilizer into the top. First year they popped out maybe a dozen or so strawberries, but they also sent out runners and spread like crazy. We designated 1/3rd of the bed to them. End of season last year they had taken over about 1/2 or more of one bed and encroached into the second, and early this year they took off again and now own an entire bed and 2/3ds of the second one. We sprinkled some concentrated fertilizer across the beds and watered the shit out of them but nothing other than that.
