Re: strawberrie

Hello All:

Has anyone tried the Tri-Star day neutral berry?  I grew them for the
first time last year and was ery impressed.  They flowered a few weeks
after planting in and I had berries from june through December!  They
were all in hanging baskets and I brought them under plastic in
November. I never pinched blooms, and there were relatively few
runners.  Some ove the runners set fruit before they even reached the
soil to set roots.

I can't remember off-hand the name of the varieties I planted. But this
is what I did to put in by strawberries last summer.  I amended
the soil with conmpost.  Planted my strawberry plants.  I was amazed at
how they packed 25 plants in such a small package.    The
only piching back I did was to pinch off all the blossoms so no fruit
was produced.  Other than that all I did was make sure they got
enough water, either from rainfall or the garden hose.  Each plant has
put out 3-5 runners and I just let them go.  I think some people
pinch these runners off.  Is this just to keep your patch under control
or to keep all the grow in the original plant?  If they keep
multiplying at this rate, they will take over my garden on about another
year.
