I have never seen strawberries with pink blossoms. They are gorgeous!

[@patkonelectric]

June strawberries or everbearing strawberries?

[@MaKoBeBu]

Burpee’s Berries Basket Pink have red/pink flowers and they claim they’re everbearing. I got a plant at my local Home Depot here in NYC and it’s my first season so wish me luck!

[@myrustygarden]

I pruned the bejesus out of mine after their first flush of fruit and omg they are producing again “berries galore” variety 👍

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Its crazy how productive they are!!

[@carminjean5042]

I Had that exact question. Thanks

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha google knows! 🙂

[@villagesteader3552]

I have been growing a garden but have avoided strawberries because I can’t allot enough space to grow what I need, so I just buy them from a local farm. However, every year I seem to eek out a little bit more space…they are my favorite fruit after all. ♥️👍🤓

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha I hear you! That's like me and melons....just can't justify the space! Do try them in containers though, well worth it!

[@villagesteader3552]

@@trishdavi7049 honestly, I never even gave it a thought! Thanks for the idea!♥️

[@trishkcmo3683]

My strawberries are still going strong. Really produce after rain storms.

[@itowmyhome797]

Thank you

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Cheers, thanks for watching! 🙂

[@rosalindhb]

I have both type and just have runners. I got a few in May. But its been 105+ for a month, so maybe its the heat? The few flowers I get fall off. I have ever sweet and I forgot the other name.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Yes rosalind, strawberries are a cool climate crop.. In times of heat stress, they will simply not produce.

[@trishdavi7049]

Would shade cloth help them stay cooler & retain moisture to produce more?

[@emylytle7149]

I dont know why my seascape strawberries dried up, is it too much sun or not watering enough cuz I water almost everyday 😔👩‍🌾 thanks Jeff I take any tips 😊 I have them for almost 2 years now, I’m in zone 9. Take care and be safe

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hi emy, watering every day can have the opposite effect of actually giving the plants enough moisture. It washes the soil and eventually the soil loses its ability to hold onto moisture. You growing in ground or in containers?

[@emylytle7149]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I’m growing in containers hanging and the strawberry terra cota pot 👩‍🌾

[@jnash5137]

Where were the Everbearing plants or seeds purchased? I can't seem to locate the Everbearing. Thank you for all the tomato and other videos.

[@crossingtheline4372]

Where I live, central Florida, all I can find are ever bearing. It would be nice to have some June bearing as well.😊

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Online, Stokes and Johnny's and Bonnie's all carry both types. I propagate mine by runners, so I've haven't been on the hunt for seeds in quite some time...

[@ukbakedpotato7647]

I am growing strawberry plants in the UK. June bearing strawberry plants seemed to have finished producing fruit, although there are some flowers. However, two varieties of ever-bearing strawberry plants, which are Rosana F1 and Mt Everest (climbing strawberry) keep producing fruit, but they are very seedy and the surface of the fruit starts cracking. I gave water regularly. How can I stop strawberry fruit become seedy or cracking? I also don't know what kind of fertiliser I should give to ever-bearing strawberry plants. I would appreciate if you give me an advice.

[@357_gardening]

Nice video, thank you!!! I’m growing Ever-bearing and I got them from Lowe’s back in March. Does it take up to a year before we will see progress?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Yes, you are correct. Often, strawberries won't produce in the first year at all. Many times, they set their fruiting buds in the fall...so if they haven't had a fall/winter yet, there's no flower buds even formed yet.

[@357_gardening]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Awesome, thank you so much!! We will wait patiently and continue to take care of them. We’re getting lots of runners. My Quinault & Seascape varieties didn’t like this summer heat in Arizona 😅 but we kept the roots. Happy Growing season Ripe Tomato Farms!!

[@ashleybreckheimer1387]

Stupid question, but when it's time to winterize your strawberries, can you cover their cages as well? The ones that help them stay out of the soil, or do you recommend taking them off ?

[@fishingwithfilitsa]

''Very nice

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

[@elireyna3605]

What the name of the pink flower strawberry ?

[@oliviar4009]

I’m dorming at college and this summer I grew two potted strawberry plants from cuttings a friend gifted me from her ever bearing plant. I’ve bought red and white grow lights for them but I’m worried about production over winter. Will they still produce strawberries over winter? Should I cut all new little berries off to maximize leaf production before spring?

[@LiliansGardens]

No, don't cut off the tiny fruits, let them ripen and harvest them. The leaves will go away for the winter and resprout in spring for the next year's fruiting. They are runners not cuttings.

[@shibafan1883]

Which ever bearing varieties do you like?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Fresca and Toscana are my top two....but next year I'm really branching out!

[@debmclean6985]

I need advice! This is the first year I’ve had this issue but my plants are producing runners over berries! No matter how much/how many runners I take off I am still fighting with the runners. In other words the plants are really only producing a few very small berries and plenty of runners. What am I doing wrong? Last year I had tons of large berries and only a few runners (which I used in a container for my granddaughter). I need advice!

[@trishdavi7049]

Avoid nitrogen (leaf promoting) fertilizer

[@stephenremo9200]

I prefer day neutral types im surprised you didn't cover them

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Essentially a derivative of everbearing...

[@AugustLeo1619]

None of my strawberries produced any strawberries not even flowers. It just produce loads of runners. I bought strawberry plants last year and some earlier this year 🤷‍♀️

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Oh wow, not even flowers? What variety are you growing?

​@leothelion3696 are they getting sun? Hi Jeff ❤

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@KerriEverlasting yup, full sun is a great point!

[@shirleyk623]

I can't get any berries because the rollie polies eat them before they can mature. I've been putting DE on the plants but with rain every day it gets washed away.😡

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

I can't believe how much those guys love them....like MAGNETS. Ugghhh...

[@LiliansGardens]

Plant in a container and mulch with straw or pine needles

[@shirleyk623]

@@LiliansGardens Thanks for the suggestion but they are in greenstalk towers.

[@Walter-ts1vu]

I thought they started producing fruit on there 2nd year?

[@Joseph_Dredd]

We got zero strawberries again this year despite using glass jars to keep the pigeons away! Sigh

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Nooooo......did the plants not produce or were the berries eaten?

I haven’t had any success with my strawberries this summer. Last year I did way better.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Oh no, what's the cause do you think? Weather?

Yeah so far I've had one flower on mine and that's it
