SUPERFAST STRAWBERIES
If planted now, strawberries can be cropping in a mere 60 days. Here’s how!
Early strawberry ‘Honoye’
When it comes to home-grown soft fruit, strawberries take some beating. Simply plant from March to July as rooted offsets (runners) and again in late summer/ autumn as young plants. The runners for planting now will have been lifted in winter and kept in a cold store in suspended animation until needed. When they arrive, they may have few leaves, but will have a healthy crown and roots. Once planted out they quickly burst into growth and can be producing their first flowers within weeks.
