Hiya my strawberries is not producing any runners

[@galehess6676]

@@owaisziaeeqadri6669 Now that is very, very strange. Just a guess but you've no replies in 11 months... Maybe they are planted too shallow or too deep, look into that and be sure your depth is correct.

🍓 Great tips

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Deanna :)

[@TheHitman180]

Great tips, I'm growing Cambridge Favourite which is a mid season variety, only have a few plants but will be building it up by utilising the runners

[@simplifygardening]

Excellent Any. cut back the old growth only this will allow the plant to put more energy into the runners

[@creativeline03]

Nice👍.

[@joelegrand5903]

You are spot on with all ten tips. I had to listen to #10 four times to understand "Mulch". My fault I am a country boy from the deep south of USA & it takes me some time to get some words, since we do not speak english here in North America, or at least not in the USA. Great video.

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Joe. Sorry you had issues understanding me. On the plus side the watch time will have been longer :) welcome to the channel

[@survivor1442]

Great video.

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Jill very much for your comment and taking the time to comment, makes my day reading them

Growing el santa variety. I saw it for the first time in my local shop, cant wait to see how they turn out 😊

[@simplifygardening]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@alanwood9754]

Hi Tony, We’re new to allotment gardening as of November 2019 but thanks to your excellent videos we’re learning fast. Keep up the good work; yours are the best. Cheers, Alan and Jane.

[@simplifygardening]

Hi Alan. glad my videos are of use to you. Sorry about the delay in responding

[@offperkz2454]

How are you doing so far

[@tomadams94]

Hi Tony thanks for the tips do you recommend pinching out the flowers when the plants are young. Cheers, Tom

[@simplifygardening]

Yes, absolutely Tom. id allow them to establish the first year

[@ChristophersMum]

I'm up in Scotland, so I haven't even thought about strawberries yet. Perhaps I should. Good prod Tony, thanks for all the tips.

[@simplifygardening]

Yeah your a few weeks behind the south up there, but if you can grow indoors get them in as they will be protected, the cold is not the issue with them just get them started early :)

[@sandrat3253]

im not sure if cold is any obstacle, im in northern ireland, im a very exposed site, we had -10C this winter for 2 weeks and all my strawberries seem to have survived, they are all growing new leaves now. The varieties i have are: malling centenary, el santa, snow white, yellow wonder, cambridge favourite and colossus. Malling centenary tastes the best, snow white is funny coz the birds dont eat it (being white not red) yellow wonder is the kids' favourite coz it tastes literally like bubble gum.

[@ChristophersMum]

Wow you seem serious about your strawberries, but thanks for the varieties that you have had success with. Yes we too have had quite serious -C's, and because we are quite high up the ground stays colder for longer, but I do start off all my plantings in the tunnel so we can get a head of the good weather to come. However it is forecast for more snow within the next few days, so we shall just have to see what that will bring us. As it is I think that digging will still have to continue, but not staying out for as long.

[@simplifygardening]

Sometime you got to know when to stay off the soil. We also got the snow forecast for the weekend, hopefully it doesn't come again, although its prob done the garden good bringing nitrogen and killing off the pests

[@nayonakter150]

Thank you very nice

[@simplifygardening]

So nice of you

[@victorlust9473]

fertilizing tips would be helpful, thx

[@diegobedoya622]

I'm growing perennials and I really needed some tips. Their super invasive and I'm growing tomatoes next to them.

[@simplifygardening]

They do spread but are shallow rooted so very easy to strip out

[@robpinfield7746]

Cambridge favourite is my choice for this year

[@simplifygardening]

Great variety too

[@galehess6676]

Fun to find an apparently Scotch Strawberry pro. I learned a year back that I am 8.25% Scotch so I will think of that when I am working my berry patch. Sub'd. Thanks!

[@mugwort3674]

Growing 'Surecrop' strawberries. Got lots of runners last year but not many berries. Will implement these tips and see what happens this summer. Thanks!

[@simplifygardening]

Thats great let me know how they do this year

[@goodsalute681]

Sweet Charlie

[@simplifygardening]

nice :)

[@Auguur]

The birds got all my strawberries this year! I was so concerned with keeping the voles and chipmunks out that those friendly mockingbirds that visit every morning were eating them right under my nose. I'm transplanting them into raised beds and installing a hoop system to hold some tulle or other barrier for next year. Thanks for the tips!

[@jamofalltrades9527]

Cheers mate you helped alot liked and subbed

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Jackofalltrades hope you enjoy the channel and stick around

Great tips! I'm growing a variety called "Chandler" for harvest this coming mid to late Spring

Good stuff!

Hi Tony Tip no 11. Cambridge one of the oldest and sweetest variety too...

[@simplifygardening]

Absolutely

Ty

[@simplifygardening]

Thanks Lana

[@annetaylor4280]

I’m growing Kent strawberries. My first year growing strawberries.

[@P3rfectP3arl]

3 questions. 1) What kind of soil and fertilizer do you use? 2) Do strawberries have to have the sun or can they have a lamp to grow? 3) How often should I water them?

[@simplifygardening]

Sorry this ened up in held for review. I use a granular feed high in potassium and Phosphorus and water them daily. They prefer the sun but will grow under lamps too if you want that route

[@neilanscombe7348]

Just got a few of elsanta for the kids to grow in their beds on the plot and i'm looking at cambridge favourite.

[@simplifygardening]

Both great varieties though, good luck for a good crop :)

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Some great tips Tony. I grew some perpetual strawberries last year that had Pink flowers. They fruited from June until November. There were 3 varieties called Toscana, Camara and Gasana and I’ve also got some regular strawberries called Honeoye . Take care. Nick

[@simplifygardening]

How well did those three fruit Nick?

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

UK Here We Grow - hi Tony, they fruited quite well although the fruit wasn’t very large. They produce fruit over a long period which means you get it when the main strawberry season is over. Take care. Nick

[@ritabb9692]

Hi...I have a strawberry patch in my garden..but my strawberries turned out very small this yr and their leaves were curling up...ive had these plants in the same spot for the past 5 yrs..should I remove them and add new soil to that spot and would you know why they turned out like this?thanks

[@RobertsBulgaria]

Love the subtitles for us ENGLISH that don't get the WELSH accent, LOL. Yes, protect your Strawberries as I grew mine in a tower in a greenhouse and as I thought it was getting a bit too hot in there, left the door ajar far enough for two of my 6 dogs to get in and have a feast. Now, I am growing them under a small Lidl Polytunnel and simply hope for the best. No idea of the variety as they're planted from runners given to me from one of my Bulgarian neighbours and IF I get some before the Cats or the Dogs then, I'm happy. Nice Video, keep them coming. Robert in Bulgaria where it is still too wet and cold to plant anything,

[@simplifygardening]

Hi Robert. Thanks for your comment, Well the subtitles are for many reasons and I am hoping to do it to all future videos if possible

[@sheriwise2315]

Quick question. Do you wait until first frost to cut back the leaves and remove the mulch? I didn't know about doing this. I always mulched heavily for the winter.

[@lynneturner4673]

I have just ordered 10 strawberry plants - Centurion I think they’re called. Live in north Northumberland in a stone cottage with uninterrupted views on the coastal plain. Got all my compost and fertiliser at the ready.

[@simplifygardening]

Oh exciting times Lynne. Wont be long those nice plump red berries will be in your bowl

[@user-fs8jm7bm4b]

Great video. Thank you. Would you suggest growing strawberries in pots? Or can they be grown in ground beds? If i grow them in ground beds, do i need to any extra protection?

[@sharonzmuda2139]

I am growing white strawberries this year and this is the first year I have seen a lot of blossoms. They are planted to the north side of my house. I wanted to know if I needed to add fertilizer>

[@tracyvernon2426]

Well,just in time Tony!! I ordered 24 strawberry plants last night called Albion to go next to the 24 Cambridge favourite that I bought last year.thankyou :)

[@simplifygardening]

Thats perfect make sure you keep the runners each year and increase crops and replace at 3 years Tracy :)

[@tracyvernon2426]

I actually just moved the Cambridge favourite and was going to take runners to fill the other bed but Dane decided he wanted them for his garden,so I decided to get a different variety for a change,cant wait to start munching on them lol.

[@chrisfox8848]

Great tips, thank you. I have never had much success growing strawberries so I'll put your tips to work! Do you know why some varieties, such as "Favouri" have a calyx which sits on an extended top of the strawberry which can be plucked very easily and also have a much softer core, when other varieties have a sunken calyx which needs digging out or cut out with a section of the strawberry and a much firmer core?

[@rebeccaiya8731]

Im growing everbearing strawberries.planting today .ty

[@simplifygardening]

Thats excellent. ever bearing a good hopefully you will get a long season, do you know the variety?

[@rebeccaiya8731]

Hello sir nice tips... My strawberry plants are healty an evan the flowers bloom but there is no fruit... Why.

[@CristyGianDensing]

What kind of fertilizer do use sir,

[@nickkk420]

I use copper tape around planter edges to stop slugs etc.

[@simplifygardening]

Great tip thanks Nick

[@vatsisg3956]

Hi Tony, exellent video. When do we plant or transplant strawberries?

[@simplifygardening]

If they are out wait for them to start growing, if they are indoors you can do it now

[@questionmark9819]

Straight to the point 👏👍👌 one question I have is about wild strawberries, what is the difference in flavour in comparison to regular ones?

[@simplifygardening]

smaller the strawberry the more intense the flavour

[@christiansmith6766]

Cambridge favourite because I live in cambrisge
