Strawberry plants are an excellent plant for amateur gardeners. They are not hardy in spring. It is important to find a location where they have the least risk of frost and wind. Choose the sunniest position in your garden. Never plant strawberries where tomatoes or potatoes have been grown – as this could pass on root disease problems. Summer fruiting strawberries can be planted in late August/early September or early April. The runners can be pressed into pots in the ground. They will take 3-4 weeks to establish themselves, by which time they can be transplanted into your garden 45cm/18” apart. Incorporate as much organic matter or manure as possible into the soil.
