Re: SqFt Strawberry Growing

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Newbie question here.....

Here in SE Ohio, my parents grew strawberries (row method) for a couple of
years.  If I remember correctly, they only produced for a couple of weeks
in early to mid-June.  Is it the area (Zone 5b) that we are in or are you
guys doing something differently to get production from spring through fall? 

TIA,
Kristine
SE Ohio, Zone 5b (where it's beginning to look a lot like another muddy
Christmas!!!)
