Winterized a strawberry plant

Image
 2o22.o9.22 - story threw pictures πŸ“Έ  I did something today . Did some googling , Said fall is when we should winterize plants inside containers . This was before I winterized it . This is after  Took some of Timmy's old clothes out of the ball in the livingroom that my kids use as chairs . Used a garbage bag then taped it around the container . Wouldn't need to but the container has holes around it  Everytime I look at this strawberry plant there is always another little green leaf πŸƒ  Have to put some more dirt in it before we put it inside the greenhouse for the winter  The elastic on one of the runners broke when I was checking on the plant . Not gonna bother putting another elastic on it because it's cold outside today  Kinda feels like an early winter  The runners are doing AMAZING  Really hoping they survive the winter then we can have more strawberries πŸ“  Some more runners  Didn't take pictures of ALL the runners because t...

compost Strawberry πŸ“

 2o22.o8.23 - a beautiful accident 😍  I noticed we had a strawberry bush growing back in June 2o22 in our compost bucket ,  I didn't take any other pictures of it because I thought it wouldn't survive . June 13th 2o22 Then ,  Today me and my kids went outside to play in the back yard for a little bit .  I looked in the compost buckets and saw how big the strawberry was getting and its getting HUGE ! I thought it was big enough to transfer it into its own container so it don't take all the nutrients out of the container its already in .  So I did that ...  This is what it looks like RIGHT now !  This is after I transplanted it into a different container This is what the strawberry looked like BEFORE I decided to transplant it . Didn't notice it at first because it blended in with the weeds , Catina helped me lift it out of there πŸ’ͺ  Hoping it don't die :)  Kind of curious on how big these berries get because they are from the store , did...

 2o22.o8.19  -  wanted to give a strawberry update . Was looking threw my posts and noticed I posted about them when I planted them back in 2o21 but didn't give an update.  So here it is  πŸ“  I got 6 strawberry bushes now 4 dollerstore berry's  (2o21) 2 different ones from amazon (2o22)  πŸ“  These are my strawberry plants (2) from last year ,  I was happy they came back this year :) I want to separate them but Terry wants to leave them together because they produce alot of berry's.  Small berry's but ALOT of them . Kids are always eating the ripe ones every more as I'm watering them  πŸ“  The two on the outside are from last year and the one in the middle with the different colored leaves are planted this year .  πŸ“  This one is also from this year  It's got bigger berry's on it then the ones from last year witch is weird but I googled it and I geuss it's from different breeds of the berry . I don't know . lo...

Strawberries πŸ“ - a journey

Image
I bought strawberries from the dollerstore in Chatham ,  planted them in May of 2021 . Didn't know if they would grow or not . I might buy more if they show up next year at the dollerstore .  Only because I read online that they grow back each year , can never have enough strawberries πŸ“ πŸ˜‚ A couple days after planting them ..  May 13th May 22ed May 29th ...... June 2ed June 5th ......... June 9th I stopped taking photos of the strawberries πŸ“ for a bit because to me they weren't growing and I liked the sunflower's 🌻 more lol  July 15th- I thought it was pree cool them getting flowers on them , just didn't replant them till three days later . Had to get more bins and dirt . The strawberry is starting to grow flowers and green berries ,  Now maybe my kids will eat them instead of me buying them and them going to waste ? Have to replant them today  July18th 2021 Terry breaking up the strawberry plant so it can be replanted . Ended up having four separate bus...
