Plant your strawberries in full sun. If you have well draining soil you can plant them directly in the ground, but raised bed planting will work equally as well....

I grow mine in a hanging basket.I have plans for a wooden pillar with holes in the side to grow the plants out of.Weezie has some.I belive either her or her mom have the lil circle thinggy done in stacks.
When they get finished blooming they will grow a runner and will make another plant.you can tuck that in soil and will root out and will have an addidonal plant for next year.I use a time release fertilizer with mine thats for veggies.I could tell ya the ratio,if had not finished box.I bought at walmart says veggie fertilizer about Bisquix sized box for $1.19 is good for 3 months.is like a cheaper version of osmote(even the same color),but states for veggies.
I grow a everbearing.It usually fruits till end of june.they also have varietis that are june bearing> I didn't get any cause thought would mark them down....and when they did,,,,,,they didn't mark down the June bearing ones....just the ever bearing& now they are out of June bearing.I think folks in cooler climates grow the june ones,but am not sure.But I killed the ones in ground& plus have dogs,a cat& ducks.
