Which type of fish, are in your rain water??

May I add a tip for people reading the comments. Before I planted any strawberry bad I would do you get the year before and I would work in dried acidic clippings Pete Moss etc. and leaves and overwinter it. The berries tend to like acidic ground but the best thing you can do is instead of mulching with straw I collect bags of white Pineneedles that are dry And use them as the mulch because as they break down they feed the ground and they’re also a great mat for the strawberries to grow in keeping them clean. Strawberries seem to be heavy organic feeders so bear that in mind when you’re preparing your strawberry bed. As with most gardening it always helps to be doing some thing a year before are you getting your dirt ready it’s the most important thing you can do in gardening.

Regarding slugs, water your plants in the morning and not in the evening. Keep the area around the plants clean and tidy of any rotting leaves, debris. Hunt them at night, picking them off, eventually you’ll win. I net mine against birds. Hoops or frames works well to support the netting.

You are so brave to put only one seed in each hole! I find myself putting 2 or 3 seeds in each hole just to be sure *something* sprouts 😁

Thank you for such a great video. I have grown strawberries often on over 45 years. I would usually order a variety of plants but it does get expensive especially since every 2 to 3 years I would move the bed running from viruses. I was looking at a basket of berries but I picked last weekend add an organic farm and I had perhaps 10 barriers left that are now over ripe. I go to this farm because they’re the nicest tasting berries I’ve had in a long long time. I am going to set the berries aside and I will grow them from seed even if it takes me until the spring of 2023 I am looking forward to growing several hundred plants. I have successfully done the runner method over the years I am intrigued by the seed method. Thanks so much again I love your channel. One of the best gardening channels on the web.

Right on!! Try and get those seeds sprouted now...! If you can grow up the plantlings to a decent size, set them into dormancy this winter, you'll be getting fruit next summer no one question! :-)

Great Video. Thanks The easiest way to grow from seeds is to take ripe strawberries (like you did) and simply squash them in your hand and berry them in potting soil. After a while they will sprout and you will notice that they are pretty crowded. Once they are about 1.5-2 inches in size, simply pull them from the potting soil (water it before to make the process easier) and place individual sprouts in individual cups. The other method I use is runners which is even easier. I am a small scale commercial farmer and I do that every season and it works like a charm.

I bought heirloom strawberry seed this year from true leaf market. I must have done something wrong. Not one single seed germinated. I don't think it was the seed I think it was me cause I buy from true leaf market a lot. I've never got a bad batch of seed from them. I just can't seem to get strawberries to grow from seed. I try every year I figure I'll get the hang of it so oner or later. Everything else I can grow from seed but then came along strawberries 😜 I'm glad you did that part on growing from seed and gathering good seed from your own patch.

About paper towels. I really don't worry about drying any seeds on paper napkins or paper towels because I'm not going to be growing hundreds of plants. After the seeds are dry, I simply take a pair of scissors and cut out the seeds I want then stick the seed + paper into the hole I made in the seed starter mix. The bit of paper simply decomposes after a while. Since I'm not worried about the paper, some of my favorite places to source seeds are restaurants. Sure, I never know the variety of cucumber or tomato or whatever I'm getting but if it tastes good then I'm going to give it a try next season in my garden. I save a couple seeds, stick them onto a paper napkin, use a pen to mark the date and where I got the seeds then fold up the paper napkin + seed and stick it into my pocket. Later when I unfold the bit of paper, everything I need to know is right there (very important when one is 74 years old, LOL!) Grow gardens, not lawns!

I scattered the seeds rubbed from dried skins, (we ate the inner parts), in a flat of fine potting soil then covered lightly. I lightly sprinkled water over that so the seeds stay buried. I'll probably purchase bare root plants in case. Can't have too many.

I cut the outer skin into thin strips and put onto a sheet of paper. Place in a window seal and they'll dry out fast. Then just flex the paper over a paper plate and presto. The seeds fall while the skin is dried to the paper. There may be a few stubborn seeds that have to be scraped off but most easily gall off.

Definitely Linda! Get the seeds going earlier the better. You want to maximize their vegetative growth all the way to and possibly through fall. Don't let the little plants flower, and don't let them send out runners of their own. If you can get them to a decent size, they will bear fruit next summer! Cheers.

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms This might be a silly question, but once they've become a real plant (say by autumn) do I bring them inside or allow them to stay out with their cousins till next year?

@@LindaCasey not a silly question at all. Strawberries are quite cold tolerant. Unless you live in Alaska, no need to bring them inside. They will need to become "outdoor" plants by the time fall hits, do if you're growing them inside, make sure to harden them off by taking them outside late summer. After that, they can be treated like small mother plants. Mulch heavily do that they're all tucked in for winter and you're gravy!

@@LindaCasey having said that, what I haven't tried is growing the babies right through winter.. Grow them huuuuuge inside over winter then put them outside... You might come out ahead... Tough to say. I know those cold tolerant plants sometimes need that cold dormancy to trigger proper growth and flowering, so you might be messing with them if you don't provide a winter rest period. Interesting stuff!
