    Growing strawberries from a store bought berry is really easy. I took 2 berries, sliced the skin very thinly and laid the cut part down in a seed starting tray with a good seed starting mix (store bought). Really quickly they started to germinate under grow lights. Within 4 weeks they are in my garden doing great! Just make sure you like to taste if the berry you are using 😊

    I'm growing 26 Seascape strawberry plants in a GreenStalk tower, lots of green growth, flowers, and starting to fruit. Alabama zone 7B

    My wife and I were just talking about white strawberries. Seen them at sam's club. Did you ever grow or eat them ?

  11. Jackie Kerr

    Kim, I have crates with strawberries but they have almost all died. I live in IL so the cold may be why??? Can they be revived??

  15. Monica MacAuley

    I have tiny lil white winged moths that fly outta my berry plants. What are they and how do I get rid of them?

  16. Stephanie Gee

    We had strawberries a few years back, but then I didn't know how to properly care for them and – well, you can guess the end of that story. We're trying again this year, but we're trying on a much smaller scale. I think this will be a better learning platform for me, and a far more manageable one. Fingers crossed!

    Timing the fertilizer for my day neutrals did me in last year, creating lush leaf growth but small berries that got picked off by the birds anyway. What plant signals do you look for so you know when to reduce the nitrogen and increase the P and the K to get those plump luscious berries? Will the fruit benefit from more potassium vs phosphorous or is it vice versa? Thanks CaliKim.

    If some of the crowns seem to be too far down in the planter and not able to get enough sunlight, can you somehow “pick them up” to add more soil underneath them and help them get closer to the sunlight? Or will this just damage the plant?

  22. Joyce Bovee

    Yes, I’ll be growing strawberries with you!

    I have 20 strawberry plants in a tower!🍓🍓🍓🍓
