How to Grow Strawberries
1.
After buying strawberry seeds, place them in the freezer for 15 days.
This will improve the percentage of germinating seeds, when you plant
them. Freezing stimulates the natural process of the seed going through
the winter months and will help jump start the strawberry seeds when you
plant them.
2. Sprinkle the seeds over the moist soil mixture and add a light
dusting of soil over the top. The soil should completely cover the
strawberry seeds, but not too thick.
3. Keep the strawberry seeds moist and in direct sunlight. The
strawberry seeds can take 10-21 days to germinate. Once the strawberry
plants have sprouted, wait for them to reach 4” or larger before
transplanting into bigger containers.
4. If weather permits, the plants can be planted right outside. Continue
to care for the plants, keeping it well drained and moist and providing
slightly alkaline soil.
5. If strawberry flowers appear in its first year, pick all flowers off
the plant. This will insure the plant is established well, before
producing fruit. After the strawberry plant has gone through its first
winter, it will be ready to produce fruit the next summer.
