Bare Root Strawberry Plants
Home gardeners can enjoy growing strawberries in raised beds or in pots and they even make a nice ground cover. Strawberry plants have a shallow root system, grow in full sun and benefit from mulch. Strawberries prefer a well drained soil rich in all the basic nutrients. June bearing plants generally produce a single large crop in early spring to early summer and are prolific producers for 3 to 4 weeks. Everbearers (also called day neutral varieties) are not as prolific as June bearers but are especially suitable for growers who wish to have plants producing fruit throughout the summer. They also produce fewer runners. Plant both types of strawberries to extend your growing season and have a large harvest to preserve, and plenty to eat all summer!
