When my son was about two years old, we were working on the garden and I told him, "the strawberries aren't quite ripe, so don't pick any." I was busy and when I turned back around to him, the little stinker was on his hands and knees eating strawberries off of the plants. 😁 But, he hadn't *picked* a single one!

Well, he didn't pick any.

Me. Leon, your knowledge is such a blessing.

Good biblical wisdom good garden info .good ch for gardeners .great info explained how to get it dun God bless!!!

Love all of your videos ,especially the biblical wisdom you gave. Nothing like a word in due season.

I came for the strawberries and was blessed with a sermon. 🙂

Thanks for sharing nice garden

Good morning, Mr Leon! I have never tried growing my own strawberries. One reason, was the grandpa, of my 2 sons. (God rest his sweet soul.) They're 3 yrs apart, and before each could even walk, he made and gave them each, their very own, half barrel strawberry bed with 10 to 12 plants for them to enjoy. They were his favorite fruit and he loved teaching the boys. And believe it or not, (I don't know the variety) they still have a few of the original plants, they don't bear hardly any fruit but the plants look great and have more meaning than the eye can see. I didn't know anything about strawberries, outside of eating them, until I watched this video this morning. I could listen to you talk for hrs, about growing plants and more importantly growing food, great food. I want to thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I hope you have a great weekend and God bless.

Cut off all the runners (long straight-lines running away from the plants) and they'll bear fruit. Additionally put zip ties on them. And change the color of the zip ties for the plants that produce fruit. Remove the old ones that don't. Replace them with new ones using the runners from the best plants you let produce a few runners so you can duplicate them.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your knowledge and your experience. I learn a lot from you

Good morning Leon. That must be why I enjoy watching your videos your just a big kid. Have a great day.

Good morning Leon! You sure are a treasure. Thank you for all that you do to help people!

Thanks for the Proverb, Leon. Always feel closer to God when I get my hands in the dirt.

Amen

Amen!!!!

I love that u keep the lord in ur life. Amen,amen,amen

I enjoy you videos so much! My older son didn’t seem to have an interest in my gardening, but after he was married with children, he grows a large raised bed of produce. The other older children enjoy animals and plants making thing, so you are correct, Raise up a child in the was he will go!

Great video! Thank you sir!

God Bless You young man!!

Thank you Leon. No more comforting and intimidating scripture then in that Proverbs verse. The children will return to how you trained them I hope we put in the work and train them well. I'm grateful that you could trigger some memories with my father and grandfather out in the garden.

Amen about the strawberries and kids! The strawberry patch is my grandson’s favorite part of our garden, he loves to help me in the garden.

StephT5, I couldn't agree more. My grandparents strawberry patch started my lifelong love of gardening. I grow strawberries, raspberries, watermelons and pumpkins for that exact reason! The next critical step lost by many, is the preservation of your harvest. This is where I introduce them to the science of canning. I've actually built a canning shack just for this purpose. I'll add this... when a child asking for their own hoe or potato fork doesn't melt your heart? I'm afraid nothing will.

Hello Mr. Leon , thank you for the information on the strawberries.

We never get bored of learning from you and my son is seeing what wisdom truly is! Thank you

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, my wife and I did 7 of 5 gallon bucket wicking pots and strawberry plants in them and they are doing wo wonderful. They were bigger plants in 3 inch pots and some have already produced fruit this year. Keep making these great videos we really enjoy them and always learn something.

AMEN LEON.. 🙏 Much respect For your wise words.. Beautiful strawberry Plants..

Good Morning Mr. Leon!! ☺️ Texas heat burned up my strawberries. 😕

Thanks Leon, I sure have enjoyed my self-wicking tubs this year.

You are a treasure and an inspiration Leon. We look forward to learning something new with each of your contributions. Never lose that childlike enthusiasm as it is infectious regardless of the age.

Great info. You're loved more than you know

Wow! Think I may want to try to plant a few seeds indoors each week and have strawberries forever!

thanks

I love strawberry’s I eat them all the time!!!

Amen!

I started Fragaria vesca, virginiana and moschata. Mostly doing some different types garden strawberries so I have some for each season

That's really cool. I'd like to try and grow strawberries indoors under the grow light.

I’d love to spend a growing season with you! Sharron Adelaide Australia

I planted everbearing strawberries in May. Beautiful plants, but not one bloom. Fertilized weekly, in a self-wicking tub in North Texas. Lots of runners though.

🥰🍓🍓🍓

I like it!!!! You are so amazing !!!! I like your spirit ! I just subscribe your channel too I want to be like you when I’m senior

What do you fertilize them with? Thank you for for teaching me about wicking tubs. My carrots in them are looking great. I cant wait to eat them.

What timing. This is my first time growing strawberries and was wondering about wintering them. I have them in 2 gallon buckets but no high tunnel or hot house so I guess I’ll bring them in when the temp gets too cold. Thanks. God bless

Thank you Mr. Leon! I was wondering what strawberry might grow during fall weather, and now I know! BTW, what type of container are you using to grow them? I have not seen them before. Thanks again.

How are you all keeping your strawberries in the wicking tubs from freezing out. Around in central Missouri we cover them in straw when planted in the ground.

I have a couple wicking tubs! My question is what do I do in the winter, water freezing, or roots dying from freezing? I have elderberry planted and have want this plant for years and don’t want to lose. Thanks for the answer.

mr. leon, wher can i buy crates like the ones you use to grow strawberrys? thank you for the video

👍🙄🥰

Why don't you use wicking tubs for those strawberries? Is there a reason?

Can Strawberry plants grow in self wicking containers?

Can you show us how you use this box? How to make it self wicking? I have access to plastic fruit containers like that and want to know what would be the best way to make them. Thanks and enjoy all your videos.

Here in Illinois my strawberry plants died. Too much sun and no sand in the soil

Are the tan strawberry containers self wicking? In your onion video you said those containers were self wicking. Can you show more details on how those planters work? Thanks.

Why are you not doing the strawberries in the self wicking tubs? I’m sure there’s a reason but I’m curious.

What do you do about spider mites. They keep decimating my strawberries or the Texas heat

Do they need pollinators to make strawberries?

What fertilizer do you recommend?

Are those strawberries in self wicking square boxes??? They don’t look self wicking... thanks!

How are you watering the strawberries they arent in the wicking pots. Will they do well in a wicking pot?

Can you grow strawberries in a wicking tub?

Hi i planted some everbearing strawberry roots in march that i got from my local walmart. its been about 3weeks and they not showing any signs of growth. its my first time growing stawberries. I live in zone 7, i planted them below the crown. Do you have any idea what i done wrong?
