Plant strawberry plants in patio containers during September or April. Choose a sheltered, sunny position in well drained compost such as John Innes No.2. Spread out their roots and place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Planting too deeply may cause them to rot!
Water strawberries frequently throughout the growing season. Feed container grown plants every two weeks. Train runners up a trellis or plant support using soft plant ties.In May, place a net over the plants to protect your crop from greedy birds! Although strawberry plants will continue to fruit in successive years, the crop will become considerably reduced and it is advisable to completely replace plants every 3 years.
