After curing, can i put them in a plastic bin with a layer of straw in between and store in a cool area?

How does the cold frame keep the ground from freezing? Is it just the cover that keeps it warm?
@emkn14792 күн бұрын
I tried hoops and plastic row covers last year and found that I ended up providing a breeding ground for slugs. Is that better or not as much of an issue in a cold frame? I also added leaf mulch and I think that was part of the issue.
@StoneyAcresGardening2 күн бұрын
You will need to deal with slugs in a cold frame too. I'd suggest traps and Sluggo to deal with them.

Great reminders! My cold frames are filled with spinach, thyme, green onions, mache, parsley, and carrots. I'm still unsure of myself on this, but trying. They’re certainly not perfect!

Sounds like you are doing great so far! I'm interested to know how the thyme goes. I've never tried that one in the winter.

I have several of my strawberry plants in a strawberry urn. Is it advisable to bring potted strawberries indoors, or do they need to be outside? How best to protect them if they are left outside? I am in Zone 6b. Thanks!
@StoneyAcresGardening5 күн бұрын
I'm in the same zone as you and my potted strawberries do okay over the winter. Just cover them up and maybe move them to a more protected area and they should be fine. Of course if you want to and if you have space you can bring them inside a garage or shed for the winter.

Keep the water level high in the jar so roots develop well and change the water about ever 5 days.

We have a basement access with Bilco doors leading down a few steps to an insulated door into basement. I am sure it gets really cold out there, same as outside. I am in zone 5, northern lower Michigan. I suppose it could be insulated somehow but would require quite a bit of insulation and work, considering my small potato harvest. Next year’s harvest might be better. Currently I store in the basement net to the door to Bilco as that is the coolest spot down there, which really isn’t as cool as it should be for storage.

Which type of strawberry plant would you say grows best/best yield/ hardiest in zone 5, Utah?
@StoneyAcresGardening9 күн бұрын
I love day neutral/Everbearing for my garden, but we like them for the continual harvest so that we have fresh berries all year. But if you are going for max yield then June bearing may be the better choice.

Will straw serve ok as compost? Or what else could I buy to use as rhe compost, i do have some manure/compost mixed bags could I use that?
@StoneyAcresGardening9 күн бұрын
No the straw is for mulch, the compost is to add nutrients to the soil. The manure/compost mix should be fine to put down before you cover with the straw or a row cover.

This is exactly what I needed to hear since this was the first time I grew strawberries. The thing I'm a bit confused about is that I don't recognize any runners. I have one plant in a dishtub along with two nasturtiums, all of which have filled the pan and at this point the strawberry plant is pretty much mixed into the flowers as far as I can tell. I wanted to remove and transplant the strawberry plant into something larger but now I'm not sure. Is it possible not to have runners? I did have one early in the summer which I clipped off because it was outside the tub but that's it as far as I can tell. Any advice or insight?
@StoneyAcresGardening9 күн бұрын
Yes if the plant wasn't really thriving and just new it might not have many runners.

I've always found that if I tuck them in well they do better the next year. When I don't completely cover them I loose plants and get off to a slow start in the spring.
